CONTENTMENT ?

Repeat from 2-19-15

This morning after breakfast, I was sitting in the recliner, drinking my coffee, watching the sun rise, listening to Christian music, trying to let the words soak in and lift out my worries.

I found myself dreaming of building my log cabin, with a sunroom outside the bedroom—a place to relax and enjoy the beginning of the day, warmed by the sun.

I realized once again that most of my thoughts of contentment revolve around someday when I get such-and-such done.  And many of those projects are so slow in coming that they rob me of peace for today and contentment right now.

Then I thought of a Bible passage, and I will close with this.  I want it to sink in and let God work in me.

“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls;

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

The Lord God is my strength, and He will make my feet like deer’s feet, and He will make me to walk upon my high places.”
