Five Minute Friday~Satisfied

I find this so funny this prompt is the first one of the year. If you read my previous post I talked a little bit about the time my husband and I felt the most content or satisfied. This word and this state of being has really been on my heart and mind as of late. There are times when the “shiny things” of the world can attract my eyes. I begin to think I need to have those things to feel “happy” or satisfied in my current state. But as we to often find out, that satisfied feeling is fleeting.

This year I have not picked a word of the year but instead I thought of a way of being. In my post Stepping Back in 2025, I talk about ways my family will seek to draw closer to God by being satisfied in what He gives to us. Just seeing this word for the Five Minute Friday affirmed the calling God is giving our family to connect more with Him and being satisfied or as I put it having contentment in our lives and for all He gives us.

We often talk about and say only God can satisfy us, but it is another thing to actually live that out. My prayer for the year is that I can do this better and draw closer to God through all things.

My soul is satisfied as with marrow and fatness,
And my mouth offers praises with joyful lips. 
Psalm 63:5 (NASB)
