Psalm 107:9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. I. WHAT IS IMPLIED IN A LONGING OR HUNGRY SOUL. 1. That it wants something which it has not got. Pardon, peace, purity, God. 2. That it wants something which it cannot provide for itself. 3. That the want of this something unsettles and makes it discontented. II. WHAT IS THE SATISFACTION WHICH GOD GIVES TO THE LONGING OR HUNGRY SOUL. The gifts of God to the soul, of pardon, health, and life, are its coronation; its honour and glory; its satisfaction. Beyond this it cannot go on earth. This is being filled and satisfied with goodness. (Anon.)
