So much time, effort, and energy go into satisfying our appetites. Hunger, thirst, sleep, love, comfort, approval, accomplishment, affirmation, achievement are a few of the many cravings we try to satiate every day. Yet, God’s satisfaction is different – in four ways.
“O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. “Psalm 90:14
| Earthly Satisfaction | God’s Satisfaction |
| We prize the pursuit of satisfaction as much or more than the satisfaction itself. For example, eating the meal is pursued and valued as much as the filling. | God’s satisfaction is the prize. |
| Satisfaction comes at the end. For example, at the end of a meal or at the end of a hard day’s work. | God’s satisfaction comes early, at the beginning not the ending. |
| Satisfaction must be earned. For example, you must cook the meal. You must contend, work, strive and achieve to be satisfied. | God’s satisfaction is already realized. We enter into his satisfied reality. |
| Satisfaction expires. For example, we are hungry again. We are thirsty again. We need affirmation again. | God’s satisfaction lasts all our days. His satisfaction does not expire. |
