This week I started a new Bible Study from the Women of Faith series entitled: Cultivating Contentment. My friend from high school Jen, had been blogging about her devotional book and when I looked at her post I realized I had some of the same devotionals. I knew I had bought at least one or two over the years, and soon discovered one in our library this Monday morning. And I have to say it's been a blessing from God this week.
I'm being reminded about many things-about how this world will disappoint me endlessly and how I need to remember that God has a rich blessing in store for me in heaven. Today's devotional was about Restless Souls. "The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what's ahead. He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that we'll never settle for less." 2 Corinthians 5:3-5. "So what is the soul? It is the deepest aspect of ourselves, the spiritual part that cries out for heaven, that is made to be a dwelling place for God. Nothing and no one else can answer that thirst. it is the size of eternity." Sheila Walsh
I prayed tears of longing to the Lord this morning...pouring out my heart to Him and asking for Him to quench my thirst. I long for Him in a way that is new and refreshing to me. I am so grateful to Him for this.
Love the title of that one, I'll have to look for it! The most recent one I've been doing has been great too - it's called "Giving God Your All" and I've been so blessed by the Scriptures it has taken me to! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I haven't been on the computer much lately so I just now saw your New York food adventures and may I just say that looked like so much FUN!!!
Hey there! I'll have to look for that title too :) You'll have to let me know how it goes.
ReplyDeleteOur New York trip was a blast! I just love that city. Going back each year is such a special treat.
