Am I a satisfied soul?
Do I not long for anything?
Am I not seeking anything?
If I am satisfied with this world and the things of this world, I will never long for God. I will never be thankful in all circumstances. If I am full of this world, I will grow bitter when the Lord tries to grow me. When the Lord's sovereign hand gives and takes away. Bitterness will take hold. Root itself deep in my heart.
But to a hungry soul, everything given is sweet.
Trials. Tribulations. Sorrow. Pain.
Are all sweet when our soul is craving the Lord. When our souls are filled by the world, we are temporarily satisfied. Momentarily filled. Until the hard times come.
What are we going to fill ourselves with?
What are we going to long for?
God or the world?
To be filled with momentary pleasure or to long for something eternal?
