Word for the Year

I am a huge fan of Debbie Macomber's.  She writes books that are just plain 'good'. She also has branched out from fiction to faith books. Anyway, I am on her e-mail list and have 'liked' her on FB.  This week, she wrote that each year she asks God for a 'word of the year'.

So, I thought I would try that, too. To give me a focus....

While meditating today, I asked Jesus to supply the word, and almost immediately the word "satisfy" popped into my head.  My first thought was huh?  Satisfy? Is that even in the Bible? So I went online to Bible Gateway, and did a search. 

I found it in Jeremiah 31:25; "I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint." (NIV)  I looked through other translations and found, "I will refresh tired bodies; I will restore tired souls."

That's me alright...tired and weary.
Good to know that God really knows me!
...and is there for me...
