Jeremy Johnson - Being Content On Empty

PHILLIPIANS 4:4-13 | ROMANS 8:38 | 1 TIMOTHY 6:6 | 2 CORINTHIANS: 11:23-30

Discouragement is like a downhill walk, it doesn't take much effort and you barely notice how far you've walked until you realize that there is a moment that you might have to turn around and trek up back hill. But the beautiful thing is God want's to give you the priceless possession of Joy, something that no matter what life may throw at you, it won't be able to steal from you.

Here are some things to remember about a state of discontentment:

The devil is after your worship, and discontentment is a lack of worship
Satisfaction lies in the fact that in Jesus, you have it all.
God provides a way out of discontentment by giving us His strength to lean on.
The secret to contentment is having awareness of Him in every situation.

Discontentment is a manifestation of pride in our lives and it was that pride that made the great heroes of faith turn their back on God only to realize that He was all they needed at the bottom. Remember one day we will be worshiping Him and not showing off our trophies in Heaven, but we don't have to wait to get to Heaven to find the treasure of life right here, right now.

APPLICATION -

Your contentment is a matter of pursuit, so take a moment to look at what you are chasing that you already possess!

PRAYER -

Father, I know that you have already given me the greatest treasure in life.

Thank you for the gift of your relationship. Help me pursue you today in spirit and in truth, show me glory so that I can see that I'm not missing anything in life.
