The Unsatisfied Soul Life's Happening Devotional

Today’s Scripture:
Psalm 63:1 KJV
O God, thou art My God; early will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee In a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;
We are all looking for satisfaction. We want to be satisfied. Whether on our jobs or in ministry, in business, or in our communities, we long to be satisfied and be at rest. Our society is restless. People are living unsatisfied lives, chasing things, chasing after money, chasing after fame, chasing after notoriety, chasing after popularity, and chasing after a celebrity lifestyle, but yet they are Unsatisfied.
We have found that the soul is not satisfied outside of God. When people chase these things, they are really trying to satisfy the soul. But the soul cannot be satisfied with things like money, popularity, or fame. The soul is only satisfied one way: through a relationship with God. Many would say that they are happy, but are they satisfied? Deep down, there's a longing for something more. For example, Jim Carey says, "I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer."
Madonna is also well-known worldwide and has been very successful, but she has also said that she is unfulfilled and dissatisfied in her life. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has also confessed to being unhappy and lonely. I mean, the list goes on and on. What's the answer, then, if money is not it? We all believe Money is the solution to our problems, so we are not happy and satisfied.
But, I believe we need to look deeper. The soul cannot be satisfied by money or popularity. It is not possible. The soul is not meant to be satisfied outside of God. Why? Because at creation, the Bible tells us that "the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." Genesis 2:7 KJV
Now, this means that man yearns for God because God is in man; that's his soul. It's God's breath. We cannot satisfy the soul outside of God. David knew this, he was king, but he had a thirst. He was not satisfied. He said my soul thirst for thee. David shows us that it's only in God we can be satisfied. He worshiped God and cried out to him. Are you Unsatisfied today, or are you looking for the wrong things to satisfy you?
I want you to know that you will only be satisfied when you have the right relationship with God. There's no other way. Only God can satisfy the unsatisfied soul. The Bible says, "For he satisfieth the longing soul, And filleth the hungry soul with goodness" (Psalm 107:9, KJV). It is a shame that we are trying to look outside God for satisfaction in our lives. Only the creator can do that. He made us in his image and likeness, we have a part of him in us. We can only be satisfied by God. Family, don't become distracted by what's happening around you with everyone chasing Money. Yeah, it's good and answers a lot of things, but it doesn't satisfy the deep issues of the soul.
Only God and a relationship with him through Jesus Christ can do this for us.
How do you get into a relationship with God? You confess him as Lord and Savior of your life, according to Romans 10:9, and then you live according to the word of God in the Bible. You will begin to see that your life becomes more fulfilled and satisfied as the days go by. Remain in God and trust him to satisfy your soul.
