Be Satisfied
The poor and afflicted shall eat and be satisfied; they shall praise the Lord -- they who (diligently) seek for, inquire of and for Him, and require Him (as their greatest need). May your hearts be quickened now and forever! Psalm 22:26
Many people constantly seek the thrill of a new experience, but every new thing eventually becomes an old thing. Sooner or later, people have to be happy with old things too, or they will never reach God's higher goal of contentment
1 Timothy 6:6 Well, religion does make a person very rich, if he is satisfied with what he has.
In Philippians 4:11-12, Paul said that he had learned how to be content and satisfied to the point where he wasn't disturbed or disquieted, no matter what state he was in. He could live in humble
circumstances or enjoy plenty. He had learned that the secret of facing every situation, wheter well-fed or hungry, was to be content. Seek contentment in God today, and you will be satisfied.
Enjoy Your Life
Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as (something done) for the Lord and not for men, knowing (with all certainty) that it is from the Lord (and not from men) that you will receive the inheritance which is your (real) reward. Colossians 3:23-24
Jesus died so that you can enjoy abundant life, not just the days you are off work or on vacation or when you get to go shopping or golfing- but every day if your life.
He wants you to enjoy going to the grocery store. He wants you to enjoy driving the kids to school. He wants you to enjoy paying the bills. He wants you to enjoy cleaning the house or mowing the yard.
You can enjoy life if you determine to do so. Say, "I am going to enjoy every aspect of my life, because Jesus died so that I could have joy unspeakable and full of glory."
**Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path**
