Psalm 119:10 “With my whole heart I have sought YOU; Oh, let me not wander from YOUR commandments!”
When Contentment Contends!
One roughly fought
battle is also waged
daily. It’s foes are
Contentment: the
World’s versus
CHRIST’s…a fight
that will never be
over till Heaven.
Where the Flesh looks
behind, HIS SPIRIT
draws upwards! Push
and pull; Tug of War…
neither relenting.
Yet such struggles
continue for those
“on both sides .”
Meaning: clinging
yourself to this life
with great zeal…while
also “expectant”…
somewhat for HIS
Rapture. But I tell you
this truth! Cast off all
but HIS ways!
Do not walk then in
tandem — half
hearted — lukewarm!
Take your stance,
hold your ground only
in — Promised Land…
because that’s where
one day — we shall
stand JUST with GOD!
As HIServant only looking for Heaven, standing with CHRIST alone and thankfully preaching everywhere to anyone as called,

Devotional: Colossians 3:23-24 “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the LORD and not to men, knowing that from the LORD you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the LORD CHRIST.”
Know that whatever you say “Yes!” to means you’re saying “No!” to everything else.
Whatever occupies your “resting” time most is WHERE your heart is and from where the mouth speaks.
It is a solemn instruction from the LORD which brings unparalleled joy and contentment WHEN…
…when we serve without hesitation, absent of any lukewarm feelings or half-hearted efforts.
Spiritual time management statistics, if they could be collectively gathered to include thoughts as well as actions…would be a grave disappointment for everyone.
That’s the daily battle we fight in this frame of flesh!
But setting out mind much more so on things above will then drive greater attention on JESUS.
Our words and actions following then will add overall to the (+) column, yes?
So we MUST filter with a critical eye to sifting out all that is temporal and unspiritual!
Matthew 20:26-28 “Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.
27 And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your servant —
28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give HIS life a ransom for many.”
So! Prioritize highest contending for the Faith by being WHOLLY CONTENT with the crimson sacrifice, sovereign purpose and perfect timing of YESHUA, our coming KING!!
Amen and amen!
