Contentment 5
Psalms 17:15 – As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.
David is always real when he prayers. He is super humbled as well. Here we see David telling God that no matter what, He will be content in Him. David will be satisfied with God’s presence alone. He’s contentment comes by just looking unto God’s face in all His righteousness and holiness. David prayer’s Lord, let me be satisfied. The more time I spend with you the more I get to bask in your glory. I come alive through your presence.
How good is our God? He love’s when we seek His face and spend time with Him. And we benefit by coming alive through that. It’s like His likeness rubs off on us. I can surely tell you that God is moving in my life. The past month I have been in the word every day. I can tell you personally that I have learned so much about Him. So much so that I am beginning to learn and understand His heart. The more time I spend with Him, His heart becomes my heart. God seemed to lay on my heart Costa Rica. But, I didn’t know that. I didn’t know when how to distinguish between my desires from His. I remember praying, “Lord, you know my heart. I want contentment in you but if you don’t send me to Costa, send me somewhere that would stretch me.” But even after all those prayer, God never took Costa Rica off my heart. Now since I am defiantly being sent there, my heart is already with the country. The point is, being in God’s presence, you get a sense of His heart. You know his heart, His heart becomes yours.
Application

I am going to thank the Lord for His heart towards me. I will write a prayer and keep it as a remembrance of his goodness.

Blessed

Blessed Deuteronomy 3:21 – “…Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done…” I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to serve in Costa Rica for these past 6 months.   God has shown me so many things that I will never forget. He has revealed to me the truth about myself that I have an attitude of complaining, pridefulness and laziness, all which needed to be strip away. He has displayed to me his promises of faithfulness, provision, fulfillment, renewal, and boldness. He has also allowed me to look through his eyes and experience his love that he has for all his children. Honestly, I don’t ever think that I would have experience that kind of love anywhere else. I can’t even explain it, it’s like complete joy and fulfillment. I don’t know, it’s crazy. That is something that I am going to bring back home with me, I am passionate about kids and loving on them the way the Lord loves me. This season was amazing but, what I have to remember is, that just because

Consistency

Consistency Romans 12:1-2 - Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. I am convinced that these verses is one of my overseer’s favorite to quote. I have heard it so much the past 6 months, that it’s pretty much now one of my favorites now as well. This section is talking about being a living sacrifice to the Lord. We are supposed to walk in holiness and in purity while we are on this earth.   Now that can be really hard, like really hard. Because that means we have to be consistently living a life that is set apart. This section doesn’t say “Do not conform to the pattern of this world”… SOMETIMES. No, it say, “Do not”. For example, why is it that we won’t

Wisdom 5 Ephesians 5:15-17 – See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. If we walk by godly wisdom, then it will help us determine what our purpose is. But there’s a few curve balls to this. Right here in this verse, it’s basically promising us that there are going to be hard days ahead. There is nothing we can do to prevent them but to stay faithful in your calling. The verse goes on and says, “Therefore.” Now this is a very important transition word. It letting us know that the next portion has something significant to say to us. And that is, DO NOT BE UNWISE. Plan and simple. Don’t do it. The bible tells us on many occasions to not be wise in your own worldly eyes. It also tells us that a fool will look at the world with his own eyes and not through the eyes of Christ. That is definitely a dangerous place to be. I bet your wondering what t
