“HE satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness” (Psalm 107:9).
There are many verses that we could quote to show us what will really satisfy our hearts, but today’s verse will do. It tells us that only the Lord can satisfy the longing soul, and fill the hungry soul with goodness. The key words here are “satisfy,” and “fill.” Our hearts are so big that only the Lord Himself can fill them, and He wants to do this for us. But in order for this to happen, we must be willing to come to Him as lost sinners, and accept the Lord Jesus as our Savior. Many are not willing to do that, but rather insist on trying to fill their hearts with the things of this world.
I remember pointing this out to two students with whom I went to university. One of them replied, “You may be right about the things of this world not being able to satisfy us, but I would sure like to try!” I lost track of him, and do not know where he is now. But he probably did what he said he would do—tried to find something in this world to fill his heart. How much better it is to believe God’s Word, and recognize that only Christ can fill our hearts.
