MIDWEEK MEDITATION

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied,
    and never satisfied are the eyes of man.

Proverbs 27:20

Life is next. 
 
We are hardwired to want more. From our earliest memories when candy was the greatest thing we could imagine, to our grown-up career, relationships, experiences, and achievements – we want more. 
 
It is never enough.
 
No matter how hard we chase after contentment. It always remains just a step ahead. That is the problem with life being next. It is never now. Proverbs teaches us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and those who find it experience rest and satisfaction. They experience enough. 
 
It starts with aligning our perspective with God's. When we are willing to call something good because God calls it good, we open ourselves up to a new way of looking at life. When we meditate on why that is actually better than maybe our hearts or friends tell us, we see why God's way is better. It is in that place that we can experience the joy of enough. 
 
Life is now. 
 
Meditate on your life. Is it next or now? Are you viewing things from God's perspective? Do you have enough?
