Learning to be Content Day 1


John 6:35
John 7:37-38
Psalm 34:8

Psalm 34:8 "taste and see that the Lord is good". When I was was lukewarm, I knew that Jesus was some cool guy who died for my transgressions but when I became a Christian I learnt that my transgressions were a pretty big deal. My hope and urgency wasn't so significant because my understanding of depravity was poor so as I grew in knowledge I came to comprehend how good of a God I worship is. Now saying that, despite me knowing full well of God's goodness I'm frustrated that I can care and worry about so many things other than God.  On top of this, I can quench urges that are not of God. Struggling with lust, I'll overcome it because I feel like a disappointment to Cheil rather than a disappointment to God. I evangelise because I focus more on other people going to hell rather than because I want them to have joy in God. I should be resorting to Jesus, not my worlds methods!

Prayer/repentance:
- i don't take my bible or Jesus sacrifice for granted. I talk, speak and think in a way that imitates God's existence in my life
- help Sylvia adjust her devotionals healthily
- I stay focused with devotionals, stop getting distracted
