A Satisfied Life

I want you to know, brethren, that many times I have planned and intended to come to you, though thus far I have been hindered and prevented… - Romans 1:13. 1 Corinthians 13:12 tells us that now we see things dimly, as in a mirror, but someday we will see clearly and understand how God answered our prayers.

Have you ever prayed and thought that it was unanswered? Have you ever desired something and it seemed that God is always saying no? Have you read things in the bible where Jesus said to ask anything and it will be done for you, so you did and it didn't come to pass? Well it may not be that God is withholding something from you as much as it may be that God is withholding you from something. He may be holding you back from danger, disappointment, loss, or the schemes of the devil. It could be just a matter of the timing is not right. Or it could be that you are basing your peace, happiness, joy and contentment on something or someone other than Jesus. For instance, if you are putting all your hope and basing your happiness on getting a big new TV, that is a false sense of hope and joy. When the new wears off, you'll be right back where you are now. Your life will be like a roller coaster, up one day and down the next, looking for the next something or someone to make you happy. However, when you put all your hope and trust in Jesus, and make Him the source of your peace, joy and happiness, you can live a life that is full of peace and joy no matter what you have or don't have. When you delight yourself in the Lord, making Him your peace, joy, security and hope, you can live a satisfied life content in all things

It is my prayer that God will Bless you EXCEEDINGLY, ABUNDANTLY, ABOVE ALL YOU CAN ASK OR THINK!
