Today. a dear friend sent me Psalm 16 from The Message Paraphrase of The Holy Bible. Hear it for yourself. It's beautiful:
"Keep me safe, O God, I’ve run for dear life to you. I say to God, “Be my Lord!” Without you, nothing makes sense.
And these God-chosen lives all around— what splendid friends they make! Don’t just go shopping for a god. Gods are not for sale. I swear I’ll never treat god-names like brand-names. My choice is you, God, first and only. And now I find I’m your choice! You set me up with a house and yard. And then you made me your heir!
The wise counsel God gives when I’m awake is confirmed by my sleeping heart. Day and night I’ll stick with God; I’ve got a good thing going and I’m not letting go.
I’m happy from the inside out, and from the outside in, I’m firmly formed. You canceled my ticket to hell— that’s not my destination!
Now you’ve got my feet on the life path, all radiant from the shining of your face. Ever since you took my hand, I’m on the right way." (Psalm 16:1-11 MSG)

Being satisfied with where God has placed me and with whom He has made me keeps me on track. It keeps me following Him instead of just following Him until a better offer comes along. I don’t always get the picture comletely, but I trust God enough to know that He knows what He is doing in me, and when He needs to do it.
Only Jesus can satisfy for sure.
