God fills like no Other
Many of us might be having a small area of emptiness in our lives, which we try to hide from others or even pretend to hide it from ourselves. It might be because of a lot of things. We call this emptiness a void.
Many of us might turn to addictions, like drinking, smoking, porn .and even people. As our despite attempt to come out of that feeling out of emptiness, unworthiness , or even loneliness or longing ness for someone or something.
It is not wise to seek to fill it from our own understanding or wisdom. . If you try it for yourselves you will soon come to know that it does not help, and you feel all the more empty and incomplete.
The Idols will never completely satisfy us. Do not let the lust for immediate gratification pushes you to fill your void with anything.
If you are one such a person, who has a void, has a feeling that something is missing, or even thinks that you are not complete. I have great news for you! The God who created you, is sufficient, to fill your heart, from that emptiness
When a void is created in our life, it doesn’t mean God is withholding a good thing. The void is there so God can fill it. It is wise for us to allow Him to fill it in His time and in His way.
In the very first book, In its very first chapter of the bible. We get to read:
Gen 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
It is from this void and the darkness condition, God created the world, and the entire wonderful things that we get to see around us that we call his creation, his handiworks. That includes us as well.
So it is without doubt that ,the God who transformed something empty and dark and turned it into something magnificent ,Is sufficient to fill our heart and transform our empty life, to a work of wonder filled with contentment,
God is good. That means we can truly trust in Him to meet all our heart’s longings, all our needs in every area of our life. The challenge is to be content to wait knowing God will do the thing in us and for us. God’s ways are much higher than ours.
We at times tent to find contentment in things we do a short time , and later , come to a puzzling question , What is the meaning of my life , What have I accomplished , Have I accomplished anything?. You might be someone who has been in a profession for 30 years filled with success but now when you turn back you see that it was nothing, It has not made you , it was just a feeling that was once there but no more this makes us sad again ,
For those of you I have a verse in the bible just for you.
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
May the thing that make you, be the qualities from above, values, principals in life that might be left behind , when you leave. And not materialistic things that last only for a little while and dissolves like smoke .
Know this for yourselves, at every stage of our lives , we value many materialistic things , that latter becomes less significant in our lives and then we move to other things this process of knowing and letting it go continues ,the bible says
1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
I hope this would be sufficient for us to conclude that, we are complete when God complete us, we are filled only when God fills us , He fills like no other. The bible conforms this by these words.
Joh 4:13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
Joh 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
So Wait for the Lord and He will accomplish that which concerns you. He withholds no good thing from him who walks uprightly, and in the good timing of His wisdom, you will receive His very best for you.
Make your mark, in life . And let that mark you make be from God.

God Satisfies The Heart of his Children
Take the time to look up into the sky, see the birds, has god not clothed them with their feathers, has not the lord Supplied meals for animals in the forest, has not the Lord pored rain and wetted the desert sand, If God has provided all this , Why ? Do we at times Question or even ask, in murmur at least, is god able to Provide my Need’s.
Noah was in the big ship for 150 days or even more, God told Noah that I would rain for 40 days and 40 nights, I imagine that Noah only took the Groceries and the supplies that he would require for 40 days. We never get to read in the bible, of Noah being tired out of dehydration or lack of Food, while he was in the ship or out, Who provided Noah? God provided all that Noah needed.
When Abram , left , and went his way to the promise land , on God’s command , Abram , who latter became Abraham did not have a campus or a road map , or did not even question whether he was going to the north or to the south , to the East or to the West . When God brought Abraham to the land the Bible says, Look at North, south, ect, till your eye can see I will give the land, Who provided Abraham ? God Provided!.
The Israel’s in the desert is a best example that show that god provides , god provided food , and water , God provided the Israelites is such an extraordinary way that the bible says the following
Deu 29:5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot
Who provided ? God Almighty! Provided.
When the Israelites asked for a King , Did not God provide them kings to rule over then , even though god was sad that his children asked for a King other Than Himself
1Sa 12:19 And all the people said unto Samuel, Pray for thy servants unto the LORD thy God, that we die not: for we have added unto all our sins this evil, to ask us a king.
Though out we see his children, being scattered away and being brought back, we see His children walking away from God and we see them rejoicing in God,
Mat 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Here we get to read in the bible, the willingness of our loving father to gather us
God, out of love for us that he send his only son to this world, as an ultimate sacrifices for the end to our sins
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
If God does so much for his Children it is an assured fact that God will Provide all our Need, there are many verses in the bible that assures that god is Sufficient, and provides all things
We read in the bible, of God providing food for prophet Elijah, brought by Birds ,from nowhere!
1 Kings 17:6 "And the ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening; and he drank of the brook."
What more proof do we need that God is sufficient to provide all you needs , the bible assures in the new testament as :
God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory.
Weather your need be physical or emotional, god is sufficient to provide, Remember he is our creator, , who would know us more? Than the one who created us, who can satisfy us more than God , who has molded us in our mothers womb.
If you think that God is far away and unable to help you in your hour of need, do not be dismayed. The bible says:
Isa 59:1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear.
God values the life of every single sole in this world. He waits like father in the Prodigal son. He is more than willing to provide you all you needs, he could even send angels to help you.
God could use you to help someone else as well, but; if you are ever used by God never boost for it is not you but it is God that has made it to be.
We all know MichelAngelo, for his masterpieces, we do not speak of the tools that he used to make his masterpieces, if you are used to help someone It is God and GOD alone that deserves Praise!
Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He satisfies the longing soul, And fills the hungry soul with goodness" (Ps. 107:8-9, NKJV).
So whey delay? Come and Be acquainted with Him and experience His Supreme Satisfaction he Gives his Children like no other!
