August 9

No wonder the peoples praise you! Let all the people praise you more! The harvest of the earth is here! God, the very God we worship, keeps us satisfied at his banquet of blessings. And the blessings keep coming! Then all the ends of the earth will give him the honour he deserves and be in awe of him”! Psalm 66:5-7 (TPT)

The pursuit of satisfaction can be a slippery slope, in the sense that the very things we chase after, imagining they will satisfy—certain relationships, friendships, fashions, or fads—may leave us disappointed and empty in the end. That temporary feeling of fulfillment quickly fades away. But listen to this, beloved one: God, the very God you worship will keep you satisfied at His very own banquet of blessings, forevermore! Not just the “once in a while if you get everything right” kind of blessings, but the “even if you get everything completely wrong” bounty of blessings that keep coming still!

No wonder His fame spreads to the ends of the earth, for His goodness and amazing grace is over all. For you—in all the deepest desires of your heart—for your children and your generations, too. That is how great and glorious your God truly is. And, that is how committed He is to, cherished, and deeply loved, you! 

Oh, beauty, pull up a chair at His table of bountiful blessings. Nestle into His love and take your place. Praise Him in awe and wonder for Who He is and for the marvellous things He has done. Then wait in joyful anticipation of all He is yet to do!

Prayer:

I do praise You, Lord, with all my heart. I thank You that Your nature and Your character are to bless Your children—to satisfy us with good things that flow from the abundance of Your generous and loving heart.

Today, Father God, I receive all that You have for me. All that is for this day alone. All that is yet to be.

I honour You, Lord, for Who You are. I give You thanks and grateful praise for all You do.
