[Discoveries] 04-18-08 What God wants to give -- Psalm 103:5

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*[The LORD] satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth 
is renewed like the eagle's. -- Psalm 103:5*/

This is one of my favorite passages in all scripture. All of us have 
dreams, hopes, desires. Some of them are lofty and noble. Some of them 
may be secret and shameful. But we all have desires, and it seems to 
each of us that if we only got what we desired (a certain marriage 
partner, a certain job, a dream home, a certain sum of money, whatever), 
then we would be truly happy.

But this passage teaches us that those things are illusions. God is the 
one who satisfies our deepest desire. Do we wish to be in ministry? God, 
not ministry, will fully satisfy that desire. Do we wish to engage in an 
illicit affair? God, not the affair, will fully satisfy that desire.

No matter what you want, bring the desire to God. He will give you 
something far, far better. He will give you Himself.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
