Journey #92: Fighting Discontentment with Gratefulness


(cedrus libani) Cedar of Lebanon


Disappointment is caused when one person has a specific expectation of another person, place, thing or event, and that person’s expectations are not met. It’s not necessarily wrong to anticipate what may come to fruition, although our reaction to disappointing circumstances can indicate what we desire most. And sometimes these strong desires that brought disappointment need to be replaced with better desires, like the ones God has for our lives. Those things that God has afforded us already – the people in our lives, our jobs, the small things that delight us, they have been good things God desired for us, and He does not hold back any good thing.

Read Psalm 92 and ask yourself, why is it good to give thanks to the Lord?
