![]() Hebrews 13:5 - “Be satisfied with what you have” (TLB). How often have you said (aloud or silently), “When I finish school…” or “After I get married…” or “As soon as I get that promotion…” or “When I pay off the bills…” or “If my spouse would just shape up . . . then I’d relax and enjoy my life?” Some of us are never really satisfied. We live in the future; longing for what might be. Our “now” is not quite good enough — yet. Stop for a just a moment. What is the reality of your present? Why do you think it isn’t enough? Is it in your control to change it? Do you need to do something that will help you be more content with your life? Today is Life’s stepping stone to tomorrow. Today is a gift from God, worth enjoying or grieving. Several years ago I realized this truth and wrote the following words in my journal: “JCW, don’t live in the future, always waiting; longing for what is not. Be satisfied and thankful for what is. Accept reality as a basis for continued growth. Stop fearing the present, wishing for different circumstances, dreaming of a future which may never be. Live now.” Lord, some things I can change. Others are not in my power to control. Help me know the difference and enjoy life now. Joan C. Webb

Osho says that greed is wanting to be anywhere but where you are at. Acceptance of what is, knowing it is subject to change, and the willingness to pray and ask for it.
When I want what you have and not what I have, then I am discounting myself and my God. They say the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, a long time thought and yet it is such thoughts that we need to change. Something that looks good doesn't always mean it is good for you. When we plan, manipulate and try to make things happen, we miss out on today. We project into tomorrow, only tomorrow never comes.
