He Stills the Hunger
Y ou still the hunger of those you cherish; their sons have plenty, and they store up wealth for their children. And I—in righteousness I will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness. from Psalm 17
Oh God,--give me more hunger for You I pray and then would you satisfy my hunger? Teach me the steps to take to let You satisfy my hunger.
"their sons have plenty"--my prayer--let them have plenty of YOU, plenty of YOU--that is my prayer for them--
"store up wealth for their children"--Father, it would be nice to leave my children something here on this earth but I am not concerned with that--So I pray that Larry and I would store up treasures of righteousness, knowledge, faithfulness, loyalty to You--may our lives reflect our love and trust in You--that is my prayer--that is the wealth I desire to leave them--
And I know Father that the only reason I will see your face in righteousness is because of the work of Your Son on my behalf--thank you for this provision.
Satisfaction to the limit--I know when I see Your face all hunger will be fulfilled, all righteousness will be realized, all my heart has ever desired will be granted in that single moment--
