Would you say you’re searching for contentment? Does it feel like everything you want it just out of reach?
Maybe you feel like you’re chasing the wind. Maybe you’ve tried to yield your desires to the Lord, but it doesn’t feel like He’s noticing one bit.
In this episode of the More to Be Podcast, we set out to answers these questions and more through considering what God has to say about contentment and longing, inspired by this month’s R.A.W. Scripture Study Method verses. Turns out we had a lot to learn and could have chatted for another hour!
You’ll be encouraged to not give up searching for contentment, for when you find it you’re bound to experience unexpected blessings from the Lord.
Part one kicks off with our confessions — Kalie and I both share our struggles with trusting God for the desires tucked away in their hearts. We look at King Solomon’s wisdom and peer into Hannah’s surrender of her son to the Lord. Part 2 begins by diving right into Paul’s letter to the Philippians . . . and us.
