Fellowship With God

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Psalm 34:8

True satisfaction in God begins with truly knowing God—His character, His ways, His Word. He is not who we imagine Him to be, nor confined to secondhand descriptions or cultural assumptions. Many ideas we hold about God are merely projections of secular thinking, not reflections of Scripture.

Yet, the more we know God rightly, the more we delight in Him deeply. When we see Him as He truly is—revealed through His Word and illumined by His Spirit—we are drawn into a joy that no circumstance can diminish.

Tragically, we often reverse this divine order: exalting self while thinking little of God. Such thinking distorts our view of reality and erodes our happiness. We cannot find joy in a God we do not truly know, nor can we trust a God we do not rightly esteem.

Knowing God begins with the Scriptures. Through them, we come to understand both who God is and how we, as His image-bearers, are to relate to Him. Apart from this foundation, we drift into confusion, discontent, and spiritual poverty.

But when we behold the glory of God in Scripture, His Spirit opens our eyes to His holiness, mercy, and steadfast love. We see that the same God who tracks every sparrow is intimately involved in every detail of our lives (Matt. 10:29). He who did not spare His own Son will surely give us all we need (Rom. 8:32).

The more we comprehend His love and sovereignty, the more our trust in Him deepens. This confidence isn't shallow optimism—it’s a settled assurance that God, in all His wisdom and kindness, is orchestrating our lives for His glory and our greatest good.

In the words of the psalmist, “The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works” (Ps. 145:17). Even when God's ways are inscrutable, His character is not. We cling to the truth that “His steadfast love never ceases; his mercies never come to an end” (Lam. 3:22).

To walk in daily communion with such a God is to know a joy that transcends circumstance. He withholds no good thing from those who walk uprightly (Ps. 84:11). Even our pain is purposeful, filtered through the loving wisdom of the Father’s hand (1 Peter 1:7).

This is how faith is refined: by trusting that everything—great or small—has passed through the sovereign sieve of God’s perfect will. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways” (Isa. 55:9). There are no mistakes with God—only mercies we may not yet understand.

When we are satisfied in God, we glorify Him. Our delight in Him displays His worth to the world. We show that He—not success, not comfort, not even good gifts—is our treasure.

Indeed, to know God is to love Him, and to love Him is to become like Him (2 Cor. 3:18). As we behold Him, we are transformed, enabled to reflect His compassion, justice, and mercy in a dark and desperate world.

Satisfied souls are generous souls.

Grateful souls.

Joyful souls.

And the happiest people on earth are those who have discovered that God Himself is their highest good. They hunger to know Him more, love Him deeper, and follow Him more faithfully each day.

As Thomas Watson once wrote: “He who has God and everything else, has no more than he who has God only.” — The Godly Man’s Picture

Oh, how sweet—how very sweet—is fellowship with our all-satisfying God.
