by: John Kitchen We all along for satisfaction. More often than not dashed hopes and frustrated efforts leave us wondering if it is a phantom appetite – forever defying fulfillment. Broken promises, shattered relationship, lost job, unfulfilled hopes, dreams and aspirations – they mock us over past failures and our inability to lay hold of the satisfaction we long for. No sooner do we achieve a major goal in life than another immediately presents itself – leaving us in a perpetual chase after contentment. Above the jeers, however, there rises the sweet strains of a hopeful song. The voice is familiar. the words are well known. But the hope is fresh. The disarming melody melts away despair and disbelief, bidding us to sing a long. It is the song of a satisfied soul rising from a contented heart. In the 23rd Psalm God lifts before us the Song of the Satisfied Soul. It’s the promise of a life better than you’ve dream possible. God offers us the intimacy of a personal relationship with Himself. God Himself is our song, the singer, and the substance of the Song of the Satisfied Soul.
