Through Jeremiah the Lord declares, "I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow. I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness.” What is God's goodness? The beginning place to be satisfied with God's goodness is in Jesus Christ, the gift of His Son, through whom we obtain eternal life. To be satisfied is to say, it is enough. Can we say truthfully we are satisfied in God's goodness or do we have other things that we delight in too much or are we unsatisfied because we lack something? We need to be anchored in satisfaction in Jesus and then begin counting our other blessings and being thankful for them as subsidiary aspects of God's goodness. Let's determine to be honest with ourselves on this issue and set our hearts and minds on Jesus.
