MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Saturday April 25, 2020
Topic: God Satisfy the Longing Soul
Text: Psalm 107:1 – 9
Indeed,
you will agree with me that God has done so much for us, and we have so much
for which to thank Him (see Psalms 103:1 – 5). He wants us to tell everyone all
that He has done. These verses should be seen as act of appreciation to God we
owe Him for His benefits towards us. There is no affliction no matter how
grievous that our God cannot deliver us from. Thus the Psalmist exhorts us who
are delivered to be mindful of so great a benefit (Psalm 107:5 & 6).
As
for thirst He gives satisfaction, so for hunger He supplies filling. Lost,
hungry, thirsty, and exhausted as used in our text, are wanderers, an example
of Israelites in exile. They also typify anyone who has not found the
satisfaction that comes from knowing God. Anyone who recognises he or she is
lost can receive the offer of Jesus to satisfy these needs.
Jesus
is the way (John 14:6), the bread from heaven (John 6:33, 35), the living water
(John 4:10-14), and the giver of rest (Matthew 11:28-30) to as many as recognises Him as Lord and Saviour. Have you received His life-giving offer? He showed us what
God desires us to thirst after (Matthew 5:6). He then warned us in Matthew 6:33
and 34 to seek righteousness and all other things will be added unto us. What
are the things you hunger and thirst after? God will satisfy your hunger and
thirst especially those things that will glorify His name.
Food for Thought: Seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness
Memory verse: Psalm 34:10
Prayer:
God, satisfy my longing soul for your righteousness in Jesus name.
