The past couple of months the LORD has been showing me how He is the only one in whom I can find true joy and satisfaction, BUT He’s been doing so through an interesting method that I never saw coming:

He has been granting me the things that I think I want. From peaches to  air conditioning, a favorable job assignment and often the praise and attention of others.  I will think that I really want something.  'If I could just have this or that! Then, I would feel content!' But when I get whatever it is, I still feel empty, hungry, dissatisfied.  Huh…???  This doesn't satisfy either???

It appears that He, and He alone, is the one who can fill me up.  How often I forget. 

"Help me stay on the path of Your commands,
for I take pleasure in it.
Turn my heart to Your decrees
and not to material gain.
Turn my eyes from looking at what is worthless;
give me life in Your ways." 
Psalm 119:35-37
