He satisfies us with good. Think about that. As a general rule, we are hard to satisfy. But this verse assures that He provides everything that is wholesome and constructive for me. Lately the Lord has been teaching me about being content. As a new mom, I'm often discontent with what I'm not able to get done each day. As a selfish girl, I'm discontent with how much time I have for myself. Too often, especially in the winter, I think I'm discontent with the whole season. I am controlled by the calendar; letting myself be driven only by whatever exciting thing is up next.

Why hold out for the future, or for more time, more anything, when He can satisfy me today. Not only does He satisfy us through His Word, and with a deep joy in knowing Him as Savior, He orchestrates every minute of the daily grind providing the daily bread of grace. He works in real, perceptible ways. I've been purposely looking for the small, satisfying things He allows me to enjoy; every happy little moment is from Him. Sneaking my sleeping babe safely back to her crib and letting me get an extra hour of sleep? That is extremely satisfying grace. Standing at the kitchen window with a steamy mug or working alongside my husband on dishes or being showered and breakfasted before lunchtime.. all so satisfying! Once I start seeking out the satisfying things, it's clear to me that the Lord cares about today. I am thankful for this. And the more thankful I am, the more contentment flows in.

Lord, may I be satisfied in You today.
