"A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet."
Proverbs 27:7
A contented life is a thing to be treasured. The danger is expressed in another old saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt." This is the danger – getting so satisfied that there is no wonder nor awe. Life becomes ho-hum and loses its sparkle. So I look for excitement in areas that seem sweet but are really bitter. It happens in marriages, in churches, and in jobs. I am satisfied with Jesus in my heart, but may I never lose the wonder of my salvation, lest I desire some new thing that will end up bitter.
Today's Thought: Beware lest the sweet become so commonplace that the bitter allures.
Have an awe-some day. Love you.
