HE FILLS MY LIFE

 HE FILLS MY LIFE

Ps. 103:5 He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s! NLT

For many, this verse may seem to not be true. We look around us and know that what is going on in our lives just is not good. We can find a lot of things that we would prefer to change: finances, health, relationships, jobs, etc. We see what is wrong and question the truthfulness of what the Psalmist says.

Yet, God is truth; He cannot lie. Therefore, what He allows to come into our lives is good. We may not see it or understand it, but if we truly believe in the goodness of God and what He says, it is true. The issue then becomes our understanding of goodness.

God doesn’t always define goodness the same way we do. God is concerned about what is good for us eternally and not necessarily temporarily. He knows what we need in order to get where we are going, we usually don’t. He knows what things will help us to grow and become the people we should and need to be, we often don’t. He knows the things that will help us feel alive again, and we often don’t. He knows what has crept into our lives to drag us down, we often don't.

We tend to fill our lives full of bad things. We think we know what is good for us, but we seldom do. We need to trust in God’s goodness always and let Him fill up our souls. He revitalizes the soul and renews our strength. Don't let life get you down. Trust in the Lord, let Him fill you with good things, and soar like an eagle!
