Seeking What You Have…
Did you ever buy something and afterwards you realize you already had it? I’ve done that a few times. I’ve actually ordered something out of a magazine, only to discover later that I already had it.
I must have forgotten. Or it must have looked so good in that magazine that I just didn’t realize. It’s one thing to do that with an order form. It’s another to do that in life.
Too many believers spend their lives trying to obtain what they already have seeking approval and love when, in God, they have more love than they could ever handle.
Striving after more money and wealth while missing the true riches and wealth they have in God or seeking for joy and happiness in what the world has to offer, when in God they have the potential for more joy than their hearts could contain.
Is that you? Are you seeking for love, acceptance, recognition, riches, status, comfort, happiness… from people or from this world? A secret… you already have it! Start discovering the joy of the priceless blessings you already have, and you won’t be out seeking imitations.
The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Isaish 58:11
Instead of dwelling on what you don’t have today and what you want to get, dwell on what you do have, and give thanks to God.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed
