I will satiate the soul of the priests with abundance, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says the LORD.

- Jeremiah 31:14

The goodness of the Lord is able to satisfy all our soul-longings!

Without God, people go through life with an aching emptiness in their soul.

They search and search for something to satisfy it.

They exhaust every avenue of sin.

They seek love, acceptance, and identity and wholeness in things of the world.

Without realizing it, their soul is crying out for God because He created them to know Him intimately.

Only He can make us whole.

God created you to walk hand in hand with Him. He designed you to dwell in His company and feast on His goodness and bask in His blessings.

The more and more you pursue God in your relationship with Him, the more of His goodness you will come to know.

The goodness of His character and blessings will begin to saturate and satisfy you daily!

You will become permeated with His presence and people will see Christ shining in you and through, drawing those who do not yet know Him to discover Him.

Whenever we feel dissatisfied in our soul, it’s a sign and nudge for us to seek the Lord’s face.

He is never far away, but always close by waiting for you with open arms!

Any parched areas or gaping emptiness deep within us become quenched and made whole with His living water and flowing abundant goodness!

Today, feast on the Lord’s goodness and be satisfied!

Prayer: “Lord, how good you are! Only you satisfy my soul. Help me to dive deep into our relationship and receive the abundant blessings of your goodness!”
