Today’s Devotional Written By a Young Woman That Is Really Never Satisfied, Ever Striving for Better: Tracy Koweh
Never Satisfied
Psalm 84:2 (Amplified Bible)
2My soul yearns, yes, even pines and is homesick for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out and sing for joy to the living God.
If you were in the Garden of Eden, would you have noticed the tree? The story of the garden is common knowledge of the first man and woman on Earth. Gave placed Adam and Eve in what can only be described as a paradise. They lacked for nothing. They yearned for nothing. They needed nothing. They had everything…………but still had to have more.
I love that I serve a God of free will and choice, but man was that part of the story cold blooded. Why put the tree there, if they were not supposed to eat from it? Why tease the first man and lady of the world? Well, plain and simple, it’s not a choice if there is no option for something else.
That same greedy desire within Adam and Eve, continues to live on in each of us. How many happily married spouses, have still stepped out and tasted the forbidden fruit? How many spoiled children have demand more toys, more games or more money, and done nothing to deserve it? How many rich people dabble in crime, because they crave more money, power, and prestige?
The funny thing is that we get a dose of God on Sunday and that’s supposed to hold us over all week long. The sad thing is that most people attempt to eat 3 full course meals A DAY, but can’t give God 30 seconds to pray over those meals. The only thing in our lives we should never be satisfied with, is our relationship with Christ. He should be the only thing we can’t get enough of.
Today let us determine in our minds to be satisfied where we are, and to crave more and more and more of Christ.
