Finding Real Fulfillment in Turbulent Times
For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined . .
we went through fire and through water; but You brought us out to rich
fulfillment.
PSALM 66:1012 NKJV
Everywhere we turn, or so it seems, the world promises fulfillment,
contentment, and happiness. But the contentment that the world offers is
fleeting and
incomplete. Thankfully, the fulfillment that God offers is all encompassing and
everlasting.
Sometimes, amid the inevitable hustle and bustle of life-here-on-earth, we can
forfeit-albeit temporarily-the joy of Christ as we wrestle with the challenges
of daily living. Yet God's Word is clear: fulfillment through Christ is
available to all who seek it and claim it. Count yourself among that number.
Seek
first a personal, transforming relationship with Jesus, and then claim the joy,
the fulfillment, and the spiritual abundance that the Shepherd offers His
sheep.
We are made for God, and nothing less will really satisfy us. ~Brennan Manning
Find satisfaction in Him who made you, and only then find satisfaction in
yourself as part of His creation. ~St. Augustine
We are never more fulfilled than when our longing for God is met by His
presence in our lives. ~Billy Graham
Our sense of joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment in life increases, no matter
what the circumstances, if we are in the center of God's will. ~Billy Graham
TODAY'S PRAYER
Dear Lord, when I turn my thoughts and prayers to You, I feel peace and
fulfillment. But sometimes, when I am distracted by the busyness of the day,
fulfillment
seems far away. Today, let me trust Your will, let me follow Your commands, and
let me accept Your peace. Amen
