Are you content ?

A question was asked yesterday, just kind of in general, but I couldn't stop thinking about it: "Are you content? Or are you always wanting more...bigger house, car, etc...?" I thought, "yes! I'm pretty content." Wanting more & more has never really been a thing for me, not that I have the corner market on being content, but it's not something I struggle with. So I'm thinking, "yes I'm content." Then I was thinking that I might be content physically but maybe wasn't content with where I am spiritually. I want more of Him!! I don't just want to be filled, I want to be overflowing. I want my kids to want more of Him, to not just be satisfied w/ where they are, but to seek Him continuously. I want, at the end of the day for God to say to me, "well done my good & faithful servant." (Matthew 25:21&23). So that's up to me. I've got to do my part & seek Him always. I need to pray & trust & believe. I've got to not just listen to what God is saying, but to do it!! Even if it means getting out of my comfort zone. Being content is good. Paul writes about it in Philippians 4:11-13- I am not saying this b/c I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, & I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any & every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." But I think it's good also to always want more of Him. To never just be okay w/ lukewarm. Let's get on fire for Him!!! I'm going to leave you w/ this chorus from Jeremy Camp that has turned into one of my prayers!! I hope you have a marvelous Monday!! "Holy Fire burn away--my desire for anything--that is not of You, but is of me---I want more of You & less of me!!"
