Why do I become discontent? \u00a0Why do I have this craving for honor, glory, and recognition when I know very well were I to get them I would still not be satisfied? \u00a0Why am I not content with the riches God has given me? \u00a0Through Christ I have everything, and I want to chase after nothing. \u00a0Does that make me a fool? \u00a0I know the truth and I still run after the lie. \u00a0Pathetic.<\/p>\n

Psalm 144:15 Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.<\/em><\/p>\n Proverbs 16:6 A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps.<\/em><\/p>\n For some reason I find this verse comforting tonight.<\/p>\n Ezra 8:22 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.<\/em><\/p>\n Two things. Ezra was concerned for God’s honor, and he trusted God to uphold His honor. Secondly they must have had a lot of money with them, if a band of soldiers was \u201cneeded\u201d to protect them. How often does God do that? How often does He ask me to do something totally backwards? How often do I say yes when He does?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why do I become discontent? \u00a0Why do I have this craving for honor, glory, and recognition when I know very well were I to get them I would still not be satisfied? \u00a0Why am I not content with the riches God has given me? \u00a0Through Christ I have everything, and I want to chase after … Continue reading “Introspective”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-personal"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/192\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.michel2010.name\/eric\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
