\n

Let them praise the Lord for His great love
\nand for the wonderful things He has done for them.
\nFor He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
\nPsalms 107:8-9<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A car? \u00a0A house? \u00a0An awesome job? \u00a0A family? \u00a0Romantic husband? \u00a0Perfect health? \u00a0No debt? \u00a0Desires<\/strong><\/em>…aren’t they fun things! \u00a0Desires can be limitless. Nothing can stop me from desiring to go to the moon or to be a millionaire! (Well…aside from the negative chatter in my head and those people around me who would tell me that you could not…but that’s a totally different topic.)<\/p>\n

Desire<\/strong><\/em> isn’t all bad; it’s when desire is left unchecked that we can run into problems. \u00a0Before any desire, Christ should always reign. \u00a0Christ needs to be Number One for everything else to make sense. \u00a0As well, we need to be very careful not to mix up wants<\/strong> with needs<\/em> and to remember that Christ can provide us with all we need.<\/p>\n

It’s important to make sure we are trusting God for our needs and not just things. We must focus on the Giver not the given.<\/p>\n

Let them praise the Lord for His great love
\nand for the wonderful things He has done for them.
\nFor He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
\nPsalms 107:8-9<\/p>\n

Immediately, when I read these verses I thought of the woman at the well (John chapter 4). \u00a0Jesus told her He was the Living Water<\/em>. \u00a0Then, I remembered that Jesus also referred to Himself as the Bread of Life<\/em>, in John 6:35. \u00a0Those are some pretty large claims to make. \u00a0Jesus wasn’t saying, “I’m all that and a bag of chips!” He was saying, “I’m a never-ending five course meal.” \u00a0But! Look what He did! \u00a0He went to Calvary for us. \u00a0I think it’s safe to say He can make those claims.<\/p>\n

So, what do you need Christ for today? \u00a0Let Him satisfy you<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

*<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0~ \u00a0 \u2665 \u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u271e\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0~ \u00a0\u2665 \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 *<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you, Lord, for being all that I need. \u00a0And for being able to satisfy any, every, and all my needs. \u00a0You are wonderful and worthy of all my praise! \u00a0Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
