2 Kings 18, 2 King 19: 1-13, Acts 27: 13-44, Psalm 107: 1-9
Psalm 107: 9 (ESV)
“For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he
fills with good things.”
The Israelites were often in physical and spiritual need
throughout their history. They first wandered in the desert after the exodus
from Egypt and were often in exile from their lands. Verse 9 from Psalm 107
tells us that Father-God provided for them always, meeting their physical and
spiritual needs. And just as he provided for the children of Abraham, Father-God
will continue to provide for us today. We can count on the blessings of Father-God
for our physical needs, but not just for survival. Father-God will also bless
us with good things because of his generosity, and we will experience
abundance. But more importantly, only Father-God can satisfy our deeper
spiritual longings. When we put our trust in Father-God, we can experience true
contentment that we will always be provided for no matter what we are going
through. Since I’ve put my full trust in Father-God’s blessings through the
words in the Bible, I’ve come to realize that he has blessed me throughout my
life. The doubts that I often experienced about whether I even mattered to the
Lord have quieted in my mind. I know I matter to Father-God and I just to have remember
all the blessings and miracles he’s done in my life.
If you enjoyed reading my thoughts on this Bible verse and
you’d like to experience how much you matter to the Lord, please pray this
prayer out loud:
Heavenly Father, I admit that I’ve sinned. I repent. I
believe in my heart you raised Jesus from the dead. I confess with my mouth
Jesus is my Lord and Savior. Right now, I‘ve received forgiveness by the blood
of Jesus. I am saved in Jesus’ name, Amen.
If you prayed that prayer, welcome to the family of God! Do
yourself a favor and find and join a Holy Spirit filled, full Gospel,
Bible-based church where you can hear the word of Father-God preached and
witness the signs, wonders, and miracles that believing in Jesus Christ can
bring to your life.
