Psalms 107:8-9 (ESV)
8 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul,
and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
What is the difference between the children of man and the children of God? Jesus. The Lord has done wonderful things for His chosen people and satisfies their hunger and longing which is common to the life of the creature that is man. Israel’s covenant with the Lord promises their possession of the promised land. It is a covenant of the earth.
The children of God are those awakened and reborn into the life of God. They are filled with the fullness of His presence by the indwelling of His Holy Spirit. The new covenant promises our possession of the kingdom of heaven. It is a covenant made in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
