A few weeks ago, I went to Dairy Queen and ordered a small salted caramel & mocha iced coffee. After I received my order, I thanked the cashier and headed home. When I got home, I took my receipt out of my purse and glanced towards the bottom of the receipt. Usually, I just throw out my receipts or keep them in my wallet. This time, I decided to take a customer satisfaction survey by going to a link provided on my receipt. I was a satisfied customer, for my beverage and the customer service was very pleasing.
Merriam Webster's Dictionary defines "satisfy" as, "to make happy; to gratify to the full." There are many things that make one happy. Some examples are:
The things of this world can only give us temporary satisfaction. If you try to search for satisfaction in drugs, you will only find temporary satisfaction. If you try to search for satisfaction in binge-watching Grey's Anatomy, you will find temporary satisfaction. If you try to search for satisfaction in taking a road trip or eating that last piece of chocolate cake in your fridge, you will find temporary satisfaction. The things of this world give us temporary fulfillment, but God truly and fully satisfies. Perhaps right now, you're feeling a sense of emptiness in your life. You keep searching for a way to fill that void by turning to the things of this world, but they just make you feel more empty. Turn to God, and He will make you whole. Drugs cannot make your life complete. Partying cannot make your life complete. Money cannot make your life complete. Relationships cannot make your life complete. Only God can truly make your life complete. Without God, life cannot be made truly complete. Isaiah 58:11a says, "The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame." God knows what you need even before you speak of it. He understands you and knows you like no other. Seek God first and foremost. Spend time with Him today. Get to know your Creator. May you be "fully satisfied as with the richest of foods" (Psalm 63:5a) today. No one and nothing can truly and fully satisfy us like God can.
