Seeds of discontentment...

Seeds of discontentment are like weeds. Unless we pull it out by the roots, they'll keep coming back at you like boomerangs.

I wish no one sowed seeds of discontentment. My wish of course, will not come true.

So, what can we do about this pesky prickly particularly pokey predicament? I sure as heaven don't know. It just makes me discontent with the discontented. After much persuasion, gentleness, firmness, love, attention, affirmation, encouragement I see myself no better than when I first started. It's like a cycle and I really just want to get off the merry-go-round and be on my way to conquer new ground for Christ. This seems like Moses' desert.

Seeds of discontentment are sown when we cannot accept what God says in His Word. We try to find someone somewhere out there to tell us that what God says in His Word just isn't right or should be interpreted this way or that way instead. We want to believe that God REALLY didn't mean this when He said it. It actually meant that instead. When we hear what we WANT to hear, that preacher is the best! We don't bother to filter, consider or even read the bible for ourselves... cos we might just read WRONGLY, interpret WRONGLY what God is saying to us!

We just don't like to be told to do something we don't like to do, not even by God. Hey! God doesn't need to consult us when He put the Bible together! He doesn't need to win no popularity contest! He doesn't need to justify to me or anybody else what He says in His Word.

When a still small voice in you speaks, don't shut Him off! Don't allow the seeds of discontentment any room to grow. Quash them today.
