"It is a bad thing to be satisfied spiritually." ~Oswald Chambers
This is so good for me to hear. I have been feeling so anxious for more of my Savior. At the same time though, that anxiousness made me feel like a grumbler, someone never content. Paul talks about learning to be content in all things (Phillippians 4:11); but he's talking about our earthly needs.
This devotional is talking about a vision for God. It says, "The proof that we have the vision [of God] is that we are reaching out for more than we have already grasped."
This just clicked in my brain! HOLY ONE, we can NEVER, should never, be fully satisfied in You. If we are ever satisfied, content or fulfilled, then it is not You we are full of, it is a false sense of You. It is probably ourselves who we have made into a god.
Thank You LORD for Your faithfulness and for being more than I could EVER handle! YOU ARE HOLY!!
