Satisfaction

Scripture: “This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot. Moreover, when God gives someone wealth and possessions, and the ability to enjoy them, to accept their lot and be happy in their toil—this is a gift of God. They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart.”

Ecclesiastes 5:18-20 NIV

Observation: Contentment and satisfaction are gifts from God.

Application: Stop wanting more and rather than seeking the next shiny object, be content with now, this very moment.  Life is fleeting, seek the Lord and find satisfaction in Him.

Prayer: Father, we live in a society that exemplifies earthly possessions.  Teach me to seek after You and not chase after things.  Let my joy be found in You alone.  Amen.
