I have been thinking about my earlier post all day. I have been really thinking about what it means to be discontent. Being discontent means that I'm not happy with what God has provided for me, what God has blessed me with and from what God has protected me from. Being discontent means I think that somehow I am entitled to more than I have. It means that deep in my soul I think that I know more than God! He is the creator of the universe and all that is in it and knows ALL THINGS and somehow I think that I can know better what I need than Him. How prideful and STUPID!! God please forgive me for thinking that you can't possibly care for me as well as what I want or expect.
God is good all of the time. I don't know what God knows, I don't understand why I have or don't have certain things. I don't have to know; God knows. I just need to pray to see it! I need to pray to be content and rest in HIM in all circumstances . I need to pray to trust God and His love for me. I need to pray for the Truth of God's character to soak into my stubborn, prideful heart and brain!
I'm so grateful that God has mercy and grace and forgiveness for us!
