O' Divine Contentment

Oh, life! I was hangin with a web designer last night in a local coffee shop. Drinking some hot brew and discussing what I would like to have incorporated into my dream web cite. So with lap top open and brains gurgitating with a world of possibilities to engage upon, I found myself in a reformed fantasy world. A worldview indeed. Then my laptop decided to freeze up again and than do some interesting contortions, before giving up the ghost. This is now the second hard drive to die on me in the last few weeks. It is a new laptop. Recently I purchased an Astro van. It started to leak oil and over heat, and than I had to shell out over $1000 to have it fixed . Now when I thought it was in good proper order, I took a group of seven to a conference, lo and behold, on the trip back it decided to become a cross to me and throw a rod, thus totally destroying the engine.

Now, both of theses two temporary gifts from God to me; namely the Laptop and Astro van were to be used for His glory. Laptop- for heralding the good news , and the van for hauling my poor victims to glorious and grand excursions and trips for what we call "ministry".

So what happen? Lately, life seems so different than what I planned it out to be. Discontentment began to rise in my heart. Up on my bookcase lay dormant a book titled "The Art of divine Contentment" by the great puritan author Thomas Watson. Now, I knew this book existed there, I had put it off for a while, thinking to myself "yes I am content, I don't need to read this". However the time had ripened and discontenment had began to brew. It was time take up and read. O what a blessing it was to me to be taught afresh the art of divine contentment, by the one and only happy sovereign.


those who possess and improve God through Christ cannot possibly be dissatisfied. The Almighty is the God of all grace (1 Peter 5:10), all comfort (2 Corinthians1:4), and of salvation (Psalm 68:20), in which respects neither deficiencies nor disappointments, losses nor crosses can cause disquieting discontents in that bosom where faith is commander-in-chief.


Your sufferings are not as great as your sins. Put theses two in the balance and see which weighs heaviest. Where sin lies heavy , sufferings lie light. A carnal spirit makes more of his sufferings and less of his sins.

The carnal heart cries out, "Take away the frogs," but a gracious heart cries, "Take away the iniquity." The one says, "Never has anyone suffered as I have done," but the other says, "Never has anyone sinned as I have done."

Discontent and impatience are two twins."This evil is of the Lord; why should I wait any longer?". (2 Kings6;33) -as if God were so tired that He must give us mercy just when we desire it. Impatience is no small sin, as will appear if you consider how it arises. It arises from lack of faith. Faith gives a right notion of God. It is an intelligent grace; it believes that God's wisdom tempers, and His love sweetens, all ingredients.

-Thomas Watson

I am here! Not there

I am here not there, I am where I am, but I am not the great I am. I think I read too much of "Sam I am".
Well, this blog has been asleep for way too long. Time to write and I will try to write or post something daily here. Life has been busy! But I have not forgotten "you" my couple of readers. There are pictures to come, and many other more profitable things to come. So please stay tuned in . Why read my blog? Well, I hope it to be not just empty chatter but thought provoking and God glorifying. I have had to repent from reading some of the other blogs. Just so much idle time. Keeping in mind that we all, will give an account for every word we had said and I am sure every word we had written, when we all shall stand before our awesome glorious God and Savior.

Do you have any suggestions for what you would like to see here or on my web cite? Please let me know.
