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 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 beca...

Faith Hebrews 11:6 – it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that He rewarder those who sincerely seek him.               Reading over Hebrews 11, and its main focus point is on the topic, “Faith.” When you just stop and think it’s clearly stated. You cannot please God without faith. Like, how can I please you, Father, if I don’t have faith in who you are as my maker? All these people in Hebrews are being led by faith. They literally are relying on God’s promise alone and having no idea what’s coming around the corner. They were obedient to the calling of Christ. It pleases God that we are faithful to His calling in our lives. I like think that our obedience is a sweet fragrance unto Him in the heavens. Pleasing the Lord is what I was put on this world to do. I was created to spread the love of Christ to whoever would receive it. This verse makes a go...

Perseverance 1 Luke 8:11-15 – This is the meaning of the parable; the seed is God’s word. The Seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away for their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved. The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face and temptation. The seeds that fall among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and so they never grow into maturity. And the seeds that fell on the good soil represents honest, good hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest. This whole passage basically is the observations. It’s talking about 4 different kinds of people and what happens after they hear the word of God. The f...
