Be Satisfied this Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving weekend is coming! Are you ready? Ready to eat turkey, ham, and pumpkin pie?
We have so much for which to be thankful. God is so good. I thought I would offer you something delicious as we anticipate our thanksgiving dinner. A healthy, heaping, helpful portion of God’s Word from Isaiah 55:1-3 (NLT):
“Is anyone thirsty? Come and drink – even if you have no money! Come, take your choice of wine or milk – it is all free! Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength (satisfaction)? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food. Come to me with your ears wide open. Listen, and you will find life. I will make an everlasting covenant with you. I will give you all the unfailing love I promised to David.”
Read those verses over three times and ask yourself what the Lord is encouraging you to pursue. Read them another three times and the Spirit of God will surely speak to you today.
So much in life drains us. We’re parched spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally. What things are robbing you from your reservoir these days … those things that give us no strength? Big promises are made, but the outcome falls flat. No satisfaction. The solution is in verse 3: “listen and keep our ears open”.
Look and see that the Lord is good. On behalf of our entire Fellowship National staff and Fellowship National Council, I want to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving!
