We all long for satisfaction, we yearn to have our hunger and thirst sated. David knew that only God could satisfy Him, and the writers of these hymns knew it, like they knew their own name, that no one else could fill their heart but Jesus.I hope these words take root in your heart, and I hope even more, that the Spirit of God Himself fills you until you thirst for nothing else again.Psalms-Psa. 90:14; Psa. 145:16; Psa. 34:10Hymns2022-07-0706 minPoetry of DustThe Hunger & the SatisfactionHunger... it reminds us that we're alive, it also reminds us of our weakness.One of the commonest sayings is this, "Humans are insatiable."But what if I told you that we can be satisfied... only if we looked in the right direction…Intro music by ZakharValaha from PixabayOutro music by Muzaproduction from PixabayPlaylist links (Plug & Play) down belowApple Musichttps://music.apple.com/ng/playlist/pod-s1e2-the-hunger-the-satisfaction/pl.u-pMyl1DaFWGR9Ez1YouTubehttps://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7mO...2022-07-0410 minPoetry of DustP&H || UnfinishedPsalms & Hymns.Hymns are powerful for a reason and can even be likened to poetry when stripped of its accompanying melody.These hymns serve to further reiterate the fact that we are clay, malleable in the Potter's hand.

Isa. 45:9Dust is ordinary, brown and ugly and most times we can get stuck staring at its raw state, forgetting about its limitless potential. As Pat Barrett once said, we are canvas and clay and God is artist and potter. We are not broken neither are we undeserving of good things.We are just... a work in progress.
