ONLY GOD SATISFIES

Psalms 42:1-2 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? (NIV)

This above scripture was David's declaration, expressing how much his inner self needed God. He says "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?" 
Everyone of us should have this kind of desire, because nothing truly and fully satisfy one's soul or inner self but God.

There are a lot of people in this world both rich and poor who are without God and are unfulfilled and unsatisfied with life, but they don't know why. Some of them have all they wanted, had traveled wherever they wanted, have done whatever their heart desired, they have been whatever they craved yet constantly feel a vacuum; an emptiness which they have no answer to. But the answer is God. 

Man wasn't created for things but things for man. Man was created for God. Man wasn't created to bring things to God or get things from God. The original and ultimate purpose of man's creation was fellowship. Man was created to have fellowship and relationship with God. That's his reason for being. When this is not in place no matter whatever else he does or owes he feels an emptiness.

Nothing satisfies but God. If you have a relationship with God, happy are you. Never envy those without God who seems to be happy and satisfied, their show of happiness is a disguise. Truth is, they are in agony. You would see them going up and down, traveling here and there. Then you think they are having fun, no! They are trying to ease their frustration. They are in search of something which cannot be found in the world but only in Christ. But they do not know. That's why we must tell them, that true fulfilment and satisfaction is found only in Christ.

Value your relationship and fellowship with God. It is more than anything else you could think of. It is your calling, it is your life, enjoy fellowship and relationship with God. 
1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

CONFESSION

Precious Father, I thank you for calling me into fellowship, relationship and oneness with you. More than ever before my heart pants for you as the deer pants for streams of water, and my soul thirsts for you God, the only true God and eternal life. Amen.
