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. |

Key Passages: He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Psalm 91:1-2 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Proverbs 18:10 Thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah. Psalm 61:3-4 |
