Satisfied

The sense of satisfaction after a delicious meal is wonderful. The satisfaction of accomplishment, when you know you’ve done your very best on a task, is both gratifying and fulfilling. “Satisfied” is a word that means contented, fulfilled and gratified. In most instances, it is desirable to be “satisfied”. However, this same word is tragic when referring to a person being satisfied spiritually. Pride will breed in the stagnant waters of satisfaction. There is no plateau in a believer’s life to recline, satisfied. There is no pinnacle that we reach and retire. There is no place to cease our desperation for more of God. We are to be conduits for His Spirit to flow through.

Our desire, our desperation is the valve that opens the flood gates of life-giving water into our lives that flows out to others. We cannot afford to become stagnant in our relationship with God. We cannot afford the lulling to sleep that satisfaction sings over our minds and emotions. We must stir ourselves to reach for more in God, to know Him better, to experience His presence at new levels.
