Monday Meditation

Monday Meditation

18 Jul

 

 

 “Why is everyone hungry for more? ‘More, more,’ they say.

‘More, more.’

I have God’s more-than-enough,

More joy in one ordinary day

Than they get in all their shopping sprees.

At day’s end I’m ready for sound sleep,

For you, God, have put my life back together.”

Psalm 4:6-8 (The Message)

 

Contentment

This, truthfully, is a difficult one for me. I tend to get caught up in the desire for more, new, or different instead of being content with what God has already given.

Oh, to be able to say that I have such joy in one ordinary day.

I hope this week is a joyful one for you!

    I struggle with contentment too. Not all the time… mostly I am content, but when I struggle- it is a hard struggle. a true fight for me.

    Thanks so much for linking up with The Wednesday Word 🙂 This is a wonderful reminder of being content. I think we ALL struggle with this one. This is the first week of the hop, so please bear with us if not many sign up, but as the weeks go on and our button is placed around, I know it will be discovered. I hope you will join us each week 🙂 Thanks again!

    Finding contentment is something I desire, but struggle to rest in. I think about what Paul says in Philippians 4:11-13 “For I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed for hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” That “secret of being content” that Paul talks about is one I ask God to whisper to me all the time. Help me, God, to just rest in You.
