I find myself often struggling with this one thing. Be it youtube, talking, napping unnecessarily or just putting food in my mouth... Sometimes it is not even for enjoyment that I do them, but for occupation.
I want to be occupied so I don't get to do the things I ought to do... I want to be satisfied so I don't have to look for that which really satisfies.
Beneath it all, I don't trust that I will be satisfied.
"The way to fight sin is to battle unbelief".
It is when I falter in belief that God will satisfy that I turn to other things for satisfaction. Or perhaps...
that I have recently come to desire something so much that I'm losing satisfaction in God.
Either way, help this faithless heart oh God. May I be satisfied with you, and you satisfied in my satisfaction. Help me to lay aside the things I covet, daily, my pledge as I lay them down:
"This much oh God, this much I love you."
