As I stepped into the restaurant parking lot after lunch, I saw a pickup truck speeding through the parked vehicles. While observing the drivers reckless behavior, I noticed the words on the trucks front license plate. It read, Almost Content. After thinking about that message and the sentiment it tried to communicate, I concluded that the concept almost content doesnt exist. Either we are content or we are not.
Admittedly, contentment is a tough needle to thread. We live in a world that feeds our desire for more and moreuntil we find it almost impossible to be content with anything. But this is nothing new. The book of Hebrews addressed this issue, saying, Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you (13:5). The only remedy for hearts that want it all is the contentment found in the presence of the living God. He is sufficient for our needs and longings, and He alone can bring us the peace and contentment well never find in the pursuits of this life.
Almost content? There is no such thing. In Christ we can know true contentment.
Read: 1 Timothy 6:6-12
Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown.
Stubbs the cat is recovering.
I’m on the phone with Drumbo....his surgery went well. MAJOR hernia. All fixed up!
Excellent VA Russian doctor...Svetlana. A month of recovery...can’t lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk.
He felt the prayers this morning.
OH man! Svetlana probably handled him like a rented mule!
Glad to hear he is alright.
Hurrah for Stubbs!!
