    For our meditation I wish to focus on the word ‘satisfy’. If we look around us, there are many discontented people who are not satisfied with what they have.

    Psalm 91:16, says, “You will be satisfied with a full life and with all that I do for you. For you will enjoy the fullness of my salvation!” (TPT) In continuation with our study on Psalm 91, let us turn our attention to verse 16. This is the Lord’s promise to the one who makes the Lord his refuge, ...read more
