Psalm 84:1,2 NKJV How lovely is your tabernacle, oh Lord of hosts! My sould longs, yes, even faints for the courts of the Lord; My heart and flesh cry out for the living God.
We have an in born craving for God. He placed it inside each one of us. When we try to fill up on other things, they never satisfy, because each of us is born with a "God-shaped hole" in our hearts, nothing else can fill that void. (John Fischer in his book Saint Ben). When we try to fill up on other things like our friends' troubles, gossip, relationships, food, tv, drugs/alchohol, or other material possesions, we are never satisfied. It will make us more and more frustrated, like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. When we depend on God for our sole source of satisfaction, we will never be dissappointed. God will provide us with:
Companionship (Hebrews 13:5-6)
Joy (John 15:11)
Life (John 10:10)
Love (John 15:12, I John 4:18)
True Freedom (Romans 6)
Grace
Peace (John 14:27)
Mercy (Psalm 100:5)
Blessing & Promises (Ephessians 1:3)
... and so much more! God keeps His promises! All He asks of us is that we believe and keep believing. he is faithful even when we are not. Why not trust Him to take care of us, fulfilling all of His promises? God promised several people in the Bible physical, tangible blessings. Many of them waited for years before seeing the blessing manifest, but they all believed. God will make good on ALL of His promises, but in His timing, not ours.
