Satisfied

Blessed is the man You choose, And cause to approach You, That he may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Your house, Of Your holy temple. - Psalm 65v4

Satisfaction is something that I think most of us don't know a lot about. We live in a culture that always demands more. It seems that we always want just a little more. We begin to think it is normal to want more and more. We desire a little more and a little better and as long as we do that we are never satisfied.

The problem with satisfaction is that we seek it the wrong place. We seek satisfaction in the things of this world where, we 'can't get no satisfaction.' We have our affection on the things of this world. We look at the things we can see instead of the things we cannot see. The problem is that the things that give us the most satisfaction are the the things that 'moths and rust' corrupt and where 'thieves break through and steal.' These things are the temporal things that pass away. Its funny that the things that give us the most satisfaction are the things that are not going to matter in the long run.

The psalmist had it right. 'We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house' he wrote. The goodness of God's house is one thing that does not pass away. It is the eternal thing.

We don't find satisfaction because we want the wrong things. Pretty simple.
