Let's talk....
Today's word is Satisfaction.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines the noun satisfaction as:
Let's talk....
Today's word is Satisfaction.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines the noun satisfaction as:
- The fulfillment or gratification of a desire, need, or appetite.
- Pleasure or contentment derived from such gratification.
- A source or means of gratification.
Ah America, it seems the more we have the more we want. Satisfaction is in short order. No matter what we have, there is always something that someone says we ought to have - that we don't have yet.
If we can't find satisfaction, (and we accept the above definition of satisfaction) we have to check our desires, needs, and appetites. Maybe our expectations are out of line.
What do you truly desire? Have you ever had a desire fulfilled? Were you satisfied?
What do you truly need? Have your needs ever been met? Were you satisfied?
What are your appetites? Have they ever been fed? Were you satisfied?
Society shouldn't impose it's standard for satisfaction on us. Satisfaction is a personal achievement, nobody can make you satisfied. You must find it for yourself.
Satisfaction doesn't come from people, places, or things - it is found in a right relationship with the source of all things - God. Ignoring this simple truth is the source of our frustration. When we desire His presence in our lives, realize that our only need is Him (He is the supplier), and set our appetites on the things of God - satisfaction surely follows.
Scripture tells us:
Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Notice the absence of an (s) on the word need. It is not the things that God wishes to supply, but His Holy Presence in your life.
