The Weekend Brew: He Satisfies
The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises
and faithful in all he does.
The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.
You open your hand
and satisfy the desires of every living thing.
(Psalm 145:14-16)
We’ve been singing Psalm 145 in the Prayer Room a lot. I have been reflecting on the faithfulness of God, especially in times when I do not deserve it. He is so good, so kind, loving and compassionate.
“You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing”.
I can imagine the Creator God holding all of the world, all of His creation, in the palm of His hand. How small I must appear when the eyes of the Lord look down from heaven upon me. Yet He sees me. He knows what I have need of, even before I do.
All I have need of, Your hand has provided.
God holds it all in His hand. Every answer, every provision, every drop of grace to cover my shortcomings. And He opens His hand and offers it all to me, freely, without restraint. Every unmet need, every cry of my heart, every empty place all completely satisfied by Him and Him alone.

A friend a few years ago explained open-handed as to give without inhibition, without manipulation – a giving of goodness – your post reminds me of that – that He loves us that way! Your message comforts a sore place in my heart – thank you!

Thanks for stopping by Dayle!
A precious message as always, Barbie!
I just realized that when I moved my blog … I somehow managed to mess up my RSS subscriptions. E-mail subs are fine. If you would be so kind as to resubscribe I would be ever so thankful! http://feeds.feedblitz.com/butterflymasterpiece
I’ll do that Beth! Have a blessed weekend.
The hand of the Lord, always holding out His steadfast love and faithfulness for his followers, placing the desire for Him in our hearts in the first place. Praise be to Him!
AMEN and AMEN!
Barbie, I loved what you said about God holding it all in the palm of his hand. Every answer, provision, and grace to cover all our short comings. Beautiful. Blessings, Kasey
Have a blessed weekend Kasey! Thanks for stopping by and linking up!
Thank-you for sharing this encouraging verse today. He is faithful.
I love the hymn you quoted from too. ‘Great is your faithfulness, great is your faithfulness, all I have need of, Your hand has provided.’ One of my favorites.
AMEN! He is our everything! Blessings.
This was just what I needed to meditate on today, Barbie.
I used the sharing button to share on FB…but the photos that come up are only from what’s on the sidebar. Do you select “feature photos” for your posts? Just an FYI?
Hope your Saturday is extraordinarily blessed, my friend!
Thanks Diane! I left you a FB message!
Thank you for the sweet reminder of God’s faithfulness. I love the scripture! He does satisfy the needs and desires of every living thing. What a wonderful Abba Father we have!
Love and hugs to you!

Oh Beth, I miss you! I need to catch up on your blog. I’ve been lurking but will stop by soon! Have a beautiful weekend!
Hi Barbie! I love that we can just open our hand and God waits to gift. What an amazing arrangement that is. All our desire to be with him, filled if I are ready to accept it.
A beautiful thought for the weekend. Thank you for your lovely blog-hop!

A beautiful promise to remember this week as I pray for a specific need. Thank you so much for sharing it today.

Beautiful image! This is one of my favorite Psalms. Thanks for sharing this lovely promise with us this morning. This is so encouraging. 🙂
You’re welcome Lyli. Have a beautiful weekend.
Dear Barbie
Yes, my friend, all His promises are summed up in Jesus. He is the “Yes” and “Amen” from God. Oh, that we would have eyes to see that we never ever are deserving of His goodness, grace and mercy and that He always acts out of Him own character of love. Let us be like little children just receiving all from His hand.
Blessings XX
Mia
AMEN Mia! He’s such a loving Father!
