Over the next 3 days, we will discuss 3 things.

First, identifying false satisfaction.

Next up, hunger for true satisfaction.

Finally, resting in lasting satisfaction.

So first, we must identify false satisfaction so we can learn to avoid it!

What is satisfaction by the way? It is defined as the fulfillment of one's needs or wants. So, when you are satisfied you are content or pleased. Now, what does the Bible say about satisfaction? Our theme scripture for this year's devotions is Psalm 63:5 which says “You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.” So we see this psalm of David explain satisfaction as coming from the Lord, and being complete! Now, where do you suppose we can find false satisfaction?

Let’s start with an obvious one.. Satisfaction with the world!

Here at Freedom Church we are currently in the middle of 21 days of prayer and fasting. There’s a good chance that the very thing you are fasting is something that you find satisfaction in! Now, some worldly things that we find satisfaction in can be good when we not only invite God into them, but make him CENTER of those things. But we’re talking about things though that we are leaving him out of! Sorry not sorry, but this includes Netflix binges and scrolling TikTok late into the night! Here is the key when we look at identifying false satisfaction: we have to focus on where our heart is! We need to ask ourselves, are we so busy with things of this world that we forget to make time for God? What false satisfaction do we find comfort in each and every day when we could be turning to the Lord as our source of fulfillment? Remember, Psalm 63 says “you satisfy me MORE than the richest feast”.

Let’s live that out today by turning to the Lord as our provider, and walking hand in hand with Him always.

Would you pray with me?
