Over the last month or so the Lord's been pressing on my heart three different lessons that I'm learning to apply. It has seemed as if every sermon, conversation, devotion, and prayer has drawn my attention back to these three important truths...
1) Continually seek the Lord and His presence (2 Chronicles 16:11),
2) Find your satisfaction in Christ alone (Psalm 17:15,"God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him" -John Piper)
3) Strive to glorify God in your thoughts, motives, actions, and words (1 Corinthians 10:31).
2) Find your satisfaction in Christ alone (Psalm 17:15,"God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him" -John Piper)
3) Strive to glorify God in your thoughts, motives, actions, and words (1 Corinthians 10:31).
The Lord has brought the above quote by John Piper to my mind many times over the last month. There's so much joy in grasping the wisdom in this truth. My fulfilment and satisfaction isn't found in friendships, physical perfection, marriage, successful endeavors, etc... but my soul is satisfied only when I am looking to Christ and drinking from the fountain of life!
I'd encourage you to listen to this sermon by Voddie Baucham: Gospel Healing for Hurting Marriages. Don't let the title fool you, it's applicable for everyone; whether you're married or not. I've listened to it four times now and still haven't completely grasped the deep truths he covers. It's wonderful!
Praise God for His mercy and love towards His children! May we find our satisfaction in Him and desire to glorify Him in all that we do.

I've been waiting for you to write a new blog forever! I miss you! Good words, I'll try to watch the sermon if I can find some time.
I love that Voddie sermon! Good stuff.
