Are You Dissatisfied?
Even lions go hungry for lack of food, but those who obey the LORD lack nothing good. The LORD says, “I will give water to the thirsty land and make streams flow on the dry ground. I will pour out my spirit on your children and my blessing on your descendants”. Your reward depends on what you say and what you do; you will get what you deserve.
Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer! In despair and far from home I call to you! Take me to a safe refuge, for you are my protector, my strong defence against my enemies. Let me live in your sanctuary all my life; let me find safety under your wings. You have heard my promises, O God, and you have given me what belongs to those who honour you. I know what it is to be in need and what it is to have more than enough. I have learned this secret, so that anywhere, at any time, I am content, whether I am full or hungry, whether I have too much or too little. I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me. “Happy are those who’s greatest desire is to do what God requires; God will satisfy them fully”!
Trust in the LORD and do good; live in the land and be safe. He satisfies those who are thirsty and fills the hungry with good things. The LORD says, “Come, everyone who is thirsty—here is water! Come, you that have no money—buy grain and eat! Come! Buy wine and milk—it will cost you nothing”! God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause.
Praise the LORD, my soul, and do not forget how kind he is. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He keeps me from the grave and blesses me with love and mercy. He fills my life with good things, so that I stay young and strong like an eagle.
