‘If Christ is yours, then wealth is yours; He satisfies all your wants.’ - Thomas A Kempis
There is no good thing withheld from the follower of Jesus (Ps 84:11). We are those who live in the reality of knowing that ‘He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him app for us all, how will He not also with Him graciously give us all things? (Rom 8:32).’ We have no need greater than our need to be made right with God - a need that has been met in and through the finished work of Christ. It was through the poverty of Christ that we have now become rich: ‘For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake became poor, so that you by His poverty might become rich.’ (2 Cor 8:9).
What wealth could the world offer that could surpass the wealth of being in relationship with the One who need only open His hand to satisfy the desire of every living thing (Ps 145:16)?
’Satisfy us in the morning with Your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.’ Psalm 90:14
Lord, may we be satisfied with You and in You. As we enter into the holiday season, may there be nothing we desire outside of and apart from You. For Your glory and our good, amen.
Satisfied,
