For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness. Psalm 107:9
During my daily reflections, I began to think about a little girl who is in the first grade that passes through our lunch line each day. She is gracious and enthusiastic about the food she receives. She is not finicky or picky at all. She is willing to eat whatever we have prepared. Each day she uses her sweet little chubby hands to make room on her tray for all the things she wants for her hungry little belly. She always eats everything on her tray and then skips merrily off to recess.
She brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart each time I have the opportunity to engage with her as she strategically plans out all the space available on her tray. It is truly a delight to fill her tray up to overflowing.
As I reflected on these joyful feelings, It dawned on me;
I bet our heavenly Father feels the same way when we come to Him with a gracious, enthusiastic heart that is hungry.
I bet He is overjoyed when we make room on our spiritual trays for the heavenly food He has prepared.
I bet it brings Him delight to fill us up to overflowing.
I bet He smiles as He watches us savor each bite.
The hungry soul becomes a happy soul!

Without faith it is impossible to please God, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:6 KJV Suggested Reading -Hebrews 11 Our spiritual vitality greatly depends upon our faith. A question that one may consider is, "What does faith look like in someone's life?" The 11th chapter of Hebrews paints a vivid picture of faith exercised and carried out in the lives of Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and others. |

The Serenity Prayer God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; and WISDOM to KNOW the difference. Most people are familiar with the Serenity prayer. It came to mind as I was lifting prayer for a friend who has had a trying year. As I meditated upon the prayer, the words 'WISDOM to KNOW' stood out to me and prompted the following: Dear Heavenly Father grant me 'Wisdom to KNOW' 'Wisdom to KNOW' that In my own strength I can not move a mountain, but as I stand in your presence, I stand in the presence of someone who can. |

34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
41 While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. 43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, 44 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? 46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions.
Mathew 22:34-46 KJV |
