He satisfies

This has been the theme of my time of study today. Psalm 103:2-5 states:
     ² Praise the LORD, O my soul,
       and forget not all his benefits-
     ³ who forgives all your sins
       and heals all your diseases,
     ⁴ who redeems your life from the pit
       and crowns you with love and compassion,
     ⁵ who satisfies your desires with good things
       so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

He satisfies our desires with good things! Why is it we think that by denying ourselves and picking up our crosses we are losing? People, this is a win-win situation! Maybe it's hard for the world to see our riches since the majority of them are spiritual when in Christ.

Good (Hebrew Strong's #2896): beautiful, best, better, bountiful, cheerful, at ease, fine, glad... and the list goes on and on.

Interestingly enough, A Call to Die today had us read from John 6. Verse 35 states, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not hunger, and who believes in Me shall never thirst." We can be satisfied in Him. It does not matter what the world holds or taunts us with.. He is all we need... the will of God is for us to know and believe Him! (John 6:40).
