Have you ever felt discontented? Just today as I was meditating on the Lord, the words a “spirit of discontentment” settled in on my heart. I have been thinking and praying about several situations I know about with women and men who have an unsettledness going on in their life. I really feel like the Lord dropped in my spirit that discontentment may be the core of their issues.
What is a spirit of discontentment? I think it really has to do with an attitude of dissatisfaction, that things just are off balance, or out of kilter. It does seem with each passing year, that things change on a regular basis. We have to get used to operating in a different manner than we did before. Kids grow up, parents get older, friends move away, hormones change, sleep patterns change, and little things that never bothered us before can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
What is becoming so obvious to me is that we can’t let little things just slide. If we do, before we know it, a little tiny issue can be blown out of proportion, and if we act in haste, we can do things that can turn our lives upside down. Discontentment can make us like a boiling volcano that is ready to erupt.
What is the best way to get settled inside once again? Let’s talk about that tomorrow. Be blessed!
