Satisfying the Hungry Soul

 “For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:9). Do you ever do any daydreaming, wishing for something that you don’t have and may never get? I think all of us could agree that we have. Lots of times we wish for things that we really don’t need, or would not bring us the happiness we so earnestly desire.

   In the Beatitudes Jesus said, “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Matthew 6:6). This is that satisfying the longing of the soul of which David spoke. The beauty of this area of longing is that even today it can be fulfilled. Peter said, “As new born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.” The knowledge of this Word will produce faith, and Peter also stated, “Receiving the end of your faith, the salvation of your souls”

    Friends, develop a longing for God’s Word. Study it, obey it, and be saved by it.
