satisfy us

This idea of contentment seems impossible particularly the way our American culture works. We always want to get a raise or lose a few pounds, its always on to the next thing. Its something that I've been wrestling with in all areas of my life.

In Numbers 11, the Israelites complain that all they eat is manna. Even when the LORD provided all they needed daily, they wanted something else, something different, or something more.

Ok, flip over to Psalm 90.

So Moses wrote a Psalm. In this Psalm, Moses writes,
"Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." Psalm 90:14
How awesome would it be if every day I woke up and the first thing I thought of was God's love? I'm going to go ahead and say I don't think thats ever happened. But thats my prayer! I want to wake up in the morning and sing for joy because of His unfailing love. I want to experience the LORD's joy in new ways each day. I want to expect great things from Him, and then see them happen.
