How much of life is spent searching for satisfaction…for pleasure…contentment…happiness? The Bible tells us to “seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need” (Matthew 6:33 NLT). Everything you need!

All That I Need
One of the most known psalms is Psalm 23. Even people who have never read the Bible have likely seen a passage from this psalm somewhere. When we read the first verse, it declares that the Lord is our shepherd. Then it says, “I have all that I need.” If the Lord is your Shepherd, … Continue reading All That I Need
Filled and Forget
In Hosea 13, we read that the people of God were fed and satisfied, but it doesn’t stop there. When they were satisfied, they became proud and forgot all about God. This verse reminds me of something that has happened in my own life, and something that I’ve seen all around me. We are blessed … Continue reading Filled and Forget

We love the rush. It makes us feel good; however, that pleasure goes away. It never … Continue reading Pursuit of Pleasure

You have to open your hands up to have something placed … Continue reading Open Hands
Enough is Enough
My son opened up the fortune cookie and pulled out the small slip of paper. The paper read: “He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough.” That is very true. During this time of year, it seems we spend so much time making Christmas lists, gift purchases and giving presents to each … Continue reading Enough is Enough
Satisfied
The feeding of five thousand makes note of something the disciples said when they were faced with the issue of it getting close to mealtime and food was in very limited quantity. The disciples thought it was best to send the people away so that they were able to go to the villages and purchase … Continue reading Satisfied
