Snickers Satisfies?

Yesterday I was eating an Almond Snickers bar. I was unaware of the new candy, but it was indeed delicious! While I was glancing over the nutrition label (I find it impossible not to, since I'm a nutrition enthusiast), I came across one of their slogans, "Snickers Satisfies." There was a .com after it - their website makes your mouth water! Anyway, I immediately related it to God (How could I not?). I screamed at my Snickers bar You're wrong! God is the bread of life and the only thing in this world that can truly satisfy! I figured it was a hopeless debate. The Snickers won.

But despite my defeat, I have one thing against that Snickers slogan: the Bible. I found several references to the keyword "satisfy" besides the bread of life verse (John 6:35).

Psalm 90:14 (NIV)

"Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days."

How glorious is that?! God's love is the most satisfying thing in the universe. His compassion never ends, and He is the ONLY thing that can fully satisfy.

Psalm 145:16 (NIV)

"You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing."

I do enjoy a Snickers bar every once in a while, but even the healthiest, most protein-filled meal cannot satisfy me. Even if I had all of the wealth and fame of the world, I wouldn't be happy. If I had the most loving family (which I do!) I still wouldn't experience God's everlasting love. Praise the ultimate provider! He will not let you go hungry, and His Word never returns void (Isaiah 55:11).
