I'm thinking today of Psalm 65, 4,
how blessed is the one whom you choose and bring near to you to dwell in your courts.
We will be satisfied with the goodness of your house,
your holy temple. God blesses those he chooses.
It is a choice of God to bless. He makes us satisfied
when we are provided for with his good supply, his protection,
and more. But the world is confused about satisfaction.
In the world there is the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life. We pursue after things that we think will meet our
desires. Meeting our desires
is what we then define as satisfaction. But God says otherwise.
Here the psalmist writes that we will be satisfied with the goodness of God's house
and his holy temple. God will satisfy those
he chooses to provide for, and he chooses to provide for you
and for me. It doesn't mean you'll have all the money you need or all your health will be perfect
or all your relationships will be perfect,
but you can be satisfied even when you're in the worst of times, going through the worst
of things, whatever the worst thing is you've ever been through.
You can be satisfied knowing that God will eventually put an end to it
and take you where there's nothing like that anymore. In the meantime,
he rides with you through whatever you're going through,
and we are satisfied with the goodness of his house.
Race season has kicked off at New Heights. Last Friday we had our
Grand Prix workshop beginning the building of wooden cars.
Wooden cars, about three, four times the size of a matchbox car, race down the track.
You're welcome to join us.
