Big Breakfasts!

S
(Psalm 90:14) Satisfy us in the morning with Your steadfast love that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

O
To be satiated and fully satisfied after having been hungry is a privilege of living in prosperity. And our hungry-satisfied-hungry cycle is a shadow--an evidence--of an important spiritual reality: Only God's steadfast, unwavering love for us can satisfy our otherwise disturbed, disquieted, dissatisfied souls. Each day we hunger to remember His love, and our unguarded, unrestricted acceptance of His love fully satisfies us,. The earlier in the day (and the earlier in life) that we re-embrace this, the fuller our rejoicing will be throughout the remainder of the day.

A
How can I become fully satisfied by His steadfast love? By accepting the good motives behind His good works and commands (Psalm 103:7). We discover that His words transcend all our afflictions just as His works eventually overpower evil (Psalm 90:15-17). As powerful and secure as our afflictions claim to be, God's love can still satisfy us ... even in tough conditions!

P
Lord, I love Your boldness and confidence. You allow us to witness tough stuff so we can be even more certain of Your steadfast love. In defiance to my fear, I receive Your love. I accept Your love unconditionally. In doing that, I watch fear gets its legs knocked away, its heart unnerved, and its great lie exposed. Thank You for this breakfast of champions!
