Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 4:6
Do you ever find yourself discontented? I guess we all do if we are truly honest. Here in America most of us have it so good and blessings are in abundance but yet how many times do you find yourself dissatisfied with your house, your job, your wardrobe, your car, your looks. Comparison is at the root of this dissatisfaction for it truly is the enemy of contentment.
Make a list on paper of your blessings. You may have heard the old hymn ‘Count Your Blessings’ where the lyrics say “count your many blessings name the one by one, then you will discover what the Lord has done.” Writing down all the good things you are blessed with will help you stop doing the comparing. God delights in a contented soul not one complaining and jealous of what others have.
Stop today and realize your life is pretty wonderful just the way you are!
PRAYER: I delight in the many ways I see you working in my life Lord and say thanks for my many blessings. Forgive me for ever acting less than grateful. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
