My Devotion

Psalm 63

Reflection
"My soul is satisfied as with a rich feast..." Monday morning I woke up completely satisfied with my life... I woke up at 5am... completely content... my wife... my children... my day... my yesterday... my tomorrow... my work... my friends... my church... my LORD... I am so very thankful and grateful for it all! I just stayed there in bed thinking about it all... it is to me a rich feast this life that I have. Is everything peachy keen? no. Do I have any problems and challenges in my life and ahead of me... boy do I ever! But am I satisfied with it all... the good and the bad? Yes I am. How I got here to this day and today... completely content, has nothing to do with me and everything to do with the Spirit. When I am kept in Him, all bodes well even when nothing goes right, I still am content, because companionship is the key to happiness. Being with others and enjoying them at the very moment that you have with them as with a gift. Does this contentment keep me from charging ahead to make improvements or a difference in what I can make a difference with... no. In fact, this satisfaction I feel compels me even more to work for the contentment of those around me... as a gift. I thank God for it all today... I give it all over to Him.
