Satisfaction

I was reading Mike's blog on the Tenth Avenue North site, and he had an entry along the same lines of what I've been contemplating.  His blog entry was entitled "Satisfy" based on the following verse:
Satisfy me in the morning with your unfailing love.”   (Psalm 90:14)

He also included a couple very relevant and interesting quotes:
  • If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.” -- CS Lewis
  •  “Our hearts are made for Thee O God, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.” -- Augustine
This reminds me of  the message in Ecclesiastes and what Psalm 73:25 says: "Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth."    Basically, true satisfaction can only be found in God.
