We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house,

“What is it that the king proclaims? The rescue of God—that God keeps his promises by saving the king. King Jesus made this final proclamation after his resurrection and ascension.”
// Psalms For You, on Psalm 40
That hole that many have referred to: the God-shaped vacuum in every human heart. And no matter how much it tries to fill that hole with pleasure, work, people or things, the vacuum remains. It was carved out for God, and only God can make it whole.
Corporate worship is designed to remind you of the incredible gifts of blessing that you have received, are receiving and will continue to receive, because, by grace, you have been eternally united to Christ.
When you are defensive when someone approaches you about a wrong in your life, you are not just defending yourself against that person, but also against God and the gift of his ongoing work of grace.
Hebrews 9:28
[28] so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
Use this as your litmus test: if you’re unable to find time to fill yourself up on God’s Word or with God’s people, something has to change. A person who is filled up can pour out. A person who is dry can only wear out.
Whatever uncomfortable, unsustainable, unjust situation we find ourselves in, we can have the same perspective as Paul-God is in control, God will bear fruit, and our pouring out is a gift that pleases God. As Paul exhorts us in Philippians 4:4, we can rejoice in the Lord always!
Living for His glory is not about building the biggest ministry or winning the most people, but about faithfully telling people about my King, wherever He leads me. In fact, His glory often shines even more brightly in the small, quiet, unseen things we do for Him.
