Psalm 107:9 (KJV)
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
In this verse from Psalm 107, we learn about the sufficiency of Jesus. He satisfies the deepest longing of our souls and fills our hearts with gladness. This is a living reminder that all of our deepest needs are going to be found in Jesus whenever we call out to Him.
And we have so many needs! We want to be loved, appreciated, respected, honored, liked, and approved of, in addition to our basic physical needs. Yet having these needs is not wrong. We were not made to sustain ourselves—our needs are intrinsic to our humanity. Where we can stray from the path that the Lord has for us is when we attempt to meet our needs in the wrong way.
The Lord has given us a much better alternative. Instead of falling into the temptation of worldly pleasures, we should retreat with Him when the longing of our souls is great. When we feel discouraged or unloved, we can go to the Lord in prayer and tell Him exactly how we feel. Once we bare our hearts and souls to the Lord, we can recite this verse back to Him: Lord, your Word says that you satisfy the longing soul and will fill me with gladness. Ask the Lord to honor what He promised, and you can be assured that He will.
Throughout our days, we should meditate on the goodness of the Lord. Take time each day to think about the reality of the Gospel and how the Lord has saved you. When we are filling ourselves up with remembrances of His goodness to us, we will be learning what it truly means to experience His sufficiency over everything.
Dear Lord, I thank you for filling me with all that I could ever need. I thank you for being the one my soul desires, where all of my needs are met once and for all. Your goodness overwhelms me. Help me to rest in that for all the days of my life. In Jesus' name, amen.
For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
