Our Daily Devotion - Satisfied in the Morning

Our Daily Devotion - Satisfied in the Morning

“Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.”
— Psalm 90:14

Some mornings we wake up full.
Other mornings, we wake up empty.

Empty of peace.
Empty of strength.
Empty of joy.

Before our feet even hit the floor, the weight of responsibilities, expectations, and quiet worries begins to press in. Without realizing it, we start reaching for something—anything—that might fill the ache inside. Productivity. Approval. Comfort. Distraction. We chase what we think will steady us, hoping it will carry us through the day.

But no amount of striving can satisfy a soul that was created to be filled by God alone.

Moses understood this truth in a way few people ever do. He wrote Psalm 90 after years of leading God’s people through the wilderness—a season marked by uncertainty, loss, exhaustion, and continual dependence on the Lord. If anyone had reason to ask God for relief, comfort, or an easier path, it was Moses.

Yet his prayer is strikingly simple and deeply revealing. He didn’t ask for fewer problems or better circumstances. He asked God to satisfy His people in the morning with His unfailing love.

Moses knew something we often forget: when the heart is filled with the steadfast love of the Lord, joy becomes possible no matter what the day holds. Circumstances may change. The road may be hard. But God’s love remains constant—steady, faithful, and sufficient.

God’s unfailing love meets us fresh every morning. It is present in every sunrise, every breath, and every quiet moment of grace. It steadies us when the day feels uncertain and anchors us when life feels overwhelming. When we begin our day by lingering in His presence—even briefly—our perspective shifts. We stop trying to fill ourselves and instead allow God to do the filling.

So today, pause.
Before the noise.
Before the demands.
Before the chase begins.

Draw near to God in the stillness of the morning. Let His love satisfy the empty places, quiet your restless heart, and renew your strength. When you start your day anchored in Him, joy doesn’t have to be chased—it naturally follows.

Joy isn’t something you chase.

It’s a gift you receive—freely given by the One who loves you most.
Walk in faith, rest in grace, and trust the One who walks beside you.

In His love and grace,
