There is not one need that we have that God will not fill. He speaks these words to us:
Psalm 103
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's
Yes he does satisfy us
Here is the meaning of the word satisfy
To meet the expectations, needs, or desires of (someone)
Let us reflect - before God created man in the garden of Eden he provided everything that man needed and gave man dominion. Then God looked and he himself said the words that it was not good for man to be alone and God provided even for that "aloneness" in a special way.
What a wonderful comparison of our youth being renewed as the eagles - the eagle at a particular stage in his life retreats and goes through a "moulting" process. This process takes about 5 months. A painful process but the end results are marvellous. The eagle has somewhat of a "rebirth" and then lives for many more years, causing him to have the longest life span of all birds.
We all go through seasons in life like eagles. Every season has its promises, challenges, and blessings. Molting season for eagles is the time when: they shed their feathers, their vision blurs, and their beak and talons break off. It is one of the most painful times in an eagle’s life. It is a death process. Although it may seem like the end for the eagle, it is actually a renewal process that enables the eagle to live a longer life. Submit yourself to that "dying to self" painful process, and you truly will experience God and life in a new way.
Amen
As one sees all the suffering around you may wonder about the goodness of God, but I pray for you today to experience
God in a new way as you begin to understand the depth of his love for you. That love fills us with care, blessings, provisions, protection and so much more. Would you lift you hands thank him, praise him and worship for all the goodness and mercy that will follow us today and every day. He so desires for you to live the life more abundantly - a life of peace, joy, walking in purpose and destiny. That life is possible lived with him, in him and flowing out of the place of abiding in him, no matter what is happening all around us. Following his laws and statutes will not be restrictive when we are absolutely in love with God. We truly come to the place of recognition that God knows what's best for us and he gave us his word to guide us into living our best life.
Even in suffering God can be glorified but we must first come to the place of understanding that every pain we suffer is working for great purpose in his Kingdom. He will cause all not some, but all things to work for our good and his glory.
Amen
Be encouraged today - breathe in - breathe in fresh new breath, breathe in sync with God, may we live, move and breathe IN HIM, as we look forward with expectancy. Expectancy? Because it is a wonderful time to be alive in God to experience the fullness of his glory as we experience revival, awakening and renewal. Won't you just receive beauty for ashes today and the oil of joy for mourning, he is causing you to triumph and bringing you into a new season of the exceedingly abundantly above all you could ask or even imagine
Amen
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
