A Reflection On Contentment

When I need to focus on my blessings

Human beings tend to be caught in one of two cycles: a downward cycle of disappointment, or an upward cycle of blessing. When we focus on unmet needs, we lose sight of God’s goodness and we are unprepared to receive more of it. When we focus on our blessings, not only do we feel more content, we actually receive the greater blessing of knowing God. He is happy to give it to those who acknowledge Him faithfully.

Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, LORD.

Psalm 89:15
