Unshakably Satisfied // Micah

Breathe that in for a moment. Try and get a mental image of what that looks and feels like... What would you give for that?

Satisfaction does not require retirement and is not a bedfellow of apathy. A truly satisfied person is not void of trial, challenge or toil nor are they empty of hopes, dreams and aspirations. Instead a content soul does not “need,” and is therefore not anxious or demanding. Satisfaction is the substance in one who has “learned to be content” while “pressing toward the mark.” The results of this sustained state leads to a fire forged strength, capable of surviving the rigor of life’s battles.

A satisfied individual is unshakable because they aren’t propped up by volatile external factors. Self-worth derived from co-dependence has given way to a vitality drawn from a deeper well.

While hard to achieve, much less describe, I do know one thing that must be present to find timeless unbreakable satisfaction and that is unfailing love. But where can we find such a love? A love untouched by circumstance that remains unstained by evil and continues undiluted by time? Unfailing love is found in God and is made available in the person of Christ whose Spirit resides in all called by His name. In Him alone can we become Unshakably Satisfied.

Psalm 90:14 “Satisfy us each morning with your unfailing love, so we may sing for joy to the end of our lives.”

Psalm 107:9 “For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.”

John 6:35 “Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall not thirst.”
