Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, and for as many years as we have seen evil. Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands upon us; yes, establish the work of our hands! ~ Psalms 90:14-17
The love of God satisfies us. It’s the miracle grow that brings forth all of the other Fruit of the Spirit. Often time, we want the favor of the LORD and for Him to establish everything we do, but we don’t want to first be satisfied by His love. Without dwelling in His love, we can’t produce any fruit or receive His promises. We have to first dwell in His love and produce His love from our hearts.
In other words, the love of God has to change you. You have to have a desire for the things of God, enjoy the things of God, seek the things of God, and remain in the things of God. The things of the world are shiny, and they often distract us, but they don’t last. They, and the earth itself, will one day flee from the presence of God. One day, they will be no more, but the promises and the good things of God will never pass away. When you dwell in the things of God, they carry on into the next life because seeking the things of God prepares treasure for you in Heaven. And where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
LORD God, please help me to leave behind the things of this world. Help me to become attached only to You and Your kingdom. Let Your kingdom come, and Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Remove any desires from me that aren’t of You. Help me to be satisfied in Your love and to stop seeking out the world and its poison apples. Teach me to love You the way You deserve. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
