SATISFACTION

I prayed this morning for the Lord to lead me to something I could write about.  I have several bibles that I enjoy reading.  This morning after my prayer I picked up my Joyce Meyer bible and said to myself, “Ok Lord lead me to something.”  I opened to the first page in Ecclesiastes where it gave a description of the book. 

The book of Ecclesiastes was written by a wise man King Solomon.  What lessons we can learn here.  After reading some of the pages the song by the Rolling Stones, “I can’t get no SATISFACTION” kept running through my head. 

This was a king was a busy man.  He had done everything that he could on earth.  He tried doing everything, but even after doing and doing he was still unfulfilled and bitter.  He was searching for joy in all the wrong places. 

Are you like King Solomon?  Are you exhausted, disappointed and frustrated?  Have you tried many things only to end up being unsatisfied?

It is time for you to evaluate how you are spending your time and what you are doing with you life.  You must let God lead you.  His will is more important than earthly pleasures.  If we don’t follow His lead then we will end up like Solomon frustrated and exhausted.

This brings me back to one of our recent Bible studies “The Best Yes.”  With everything you do you must ask yourself, “Is this the best yes for me?”  You must realize that you can’t do everything.  Go to God and figure out what your best yes is, what God is leading you to do.  Evaluate how you are spending your time and what you are doing with your life.  If you have peace while doing something, then keep doing it, if you don’t have peace if it brings anxiety than let it go!

Make an adjustment today so that you will have satisfaction.  Follow the Lords lead and fulfill His call on your life.  Begin spending you time with God.  Listen to Him and follow Him.  With Him you will get your satisfaction!
