Rest and Satisfaction in Him

In the last post we discovered that we can find ultimate and lasting satisfaction in the Lord alone.  You can find a link to the last post here, if you want to reread that post:   https://christiancaregiving.blogspot.com/2025/06/satisfaction-found-in-lord-alone.html  

Everything and everyone else except the Lord God is temporary and fleeting.  This is true in spite of our sins and because of the Lord's death on the cross for us.  The Lord Jesus put our sins upon Himself, and in exchange we were clothed in His perfect righteousness.

In the Lord we have forgiveness, joy, cleansing, and peace.  The psalmist says in Psalm 16:2, "You are my Lord; apart from You  I have no good thing."  The psalmist goes on to say in verse 5. "Lord, You alone are my portion and cup; You make my lot secure."  

Therefore we need to desire and to seek His presence.  By doing this we need never be shaken by life's storms, trials, and tests.  The Lord will also always counsel us  through His Word and the Holy Spirit in us. In Him we find joy, rest, satisfaction, and eternal pleasures that can be found in Him alone.

Oh how wonderful, O how marvelous is my Savior's love for me!" says that precious hymn of old.  If everything else would be stripped away, He is sufficient.  He is providentially directing your and my lives step by step on the path He wants us to take.  He is doing this through His constant presence in our lives and through His awesome and trustworthy promises.  As yet another hymn says, "Wonderful grace of Jesus, all sufficient for me!"

Below is a link to that wonderful hymn, Wonderful Grace of Jesus.
