Satiated

 

The abundance of
My love

will satiate
your soul

satisfying you with
My goodness

and a hope
you can own.

You establish and satiate my soul.

” ‘ I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness,’ says the LORD. ‘There is hope in your future,’ says the LORD, ‘that your children shall come back to their own border. For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.’ “‘ Jeremiah 31:14,17,25 NKJV

Satisfied

plant put outside
now back inside
still not satisfied

“O God, You are my God;
Early will I seek You;
My soul thirsts for You;
In a dry and thirsty land
Where there is no water. ”  Psalm 63:1 NKJV

“Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.”  Psalm 63:3 NKJV

“My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness . . .”  Psalm 63:5 NKJV

***

Let your soul
thirst for Me
and your flesh
too

for My lovingkindness
is better than life –
only I
can satisfy you.

“You Open Your Hand”

“The LORD upholds all who fall,
And raises up all those who are
bowed down.
The eyes of all look expectantly to
You,
And You give them their food in
due season.
You open Your hand
And satisfy the desire of every living
thing.”    Psalm 145:14-16

When I’m typing at the computer and Aubrey is close by, she reaches her hand out for me to touch with mine, desiring to stay connected.

Lord, we thank You for Your open hand policy with us.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Palms of Grace

His open hand upholds us
whenever we do fall
and is sure to lift us when
we’re weighed down by it all.

Our eyes look expectantly
to His blood streaked face
our desires satisfied by His
pierced palms of salvation grace.

A Rejoicing Tithe

” . . .you shall eat there before the Lord your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.” Deuteronomy 14:26
“”At the end of every third year you shall bring out the tithe of your produce of that year and store it up within your gates.” Deuteronomy 14:28
“And the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance among you and the stranger and the fatherless and the widow who are within your gates, they come and eat and be satisfied, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.” Deuteronomy 14:29

I received a different look at the tithe in this chapter, seeing more of God’s heart for us in it, to rejoice and bless others.

Lord, thank You for how You work in our work or lack of it, in our finances or need, as we give or as we receive help from others. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Satisfied

You bless us
as we bless others
storing up
in order to give
knowing You provide
the tithe and increase
and the every breath
we need to live.
