Contentment is a word we don’t hear about much in our society. The Bible tells us to be content with what we have, but the world system tells us to want more! Just look at ads on TV or those you see on the internet or hear on the radio. All of them make it look like we can’t live without their product. Well, as believers, we can be satisfied and totally and thoroughly content. I wrote a song about that a few years back, and here are the words:
I’m satisfied with You alone,
In your presence, I find my home
My heart is yours
Forevermore
You’re all I want
\ I want you Lord
Content to follow where you lead
Your whispered Word is all I need
I’m fully yours
I want no more
You’re all I want
I want you Lord
Close to your heart, I want to stay
Your Word I promise to obey
content in you
I need no more
Satisfied
I want you Lord
Is there a more perfect place to be than satisfied in God? Truly we can say with the psalmist David, The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want!
