Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
1 Timothy 6:6-7 (NKJV)
From this morning’s pen and messy journal…
Lord,
I know I need less…
Instagram and more InstaGOD
and by that I mean,
scrolling through scripture
more than Instagram feeds,
savoring your goodness
and less salivating over
sensuous shots
of all the things I don’t really need
but have to have,
after seeing.
Contentment is evasive when
you’re searching for the next thing,
eyes are hungry to devour beauty
but the beauty of the Lord brings
godliness AND contentment,
satisfies our ravenous appetites
for more,
more,
more…
softens the edges of the hard
frame of this world-
brings a smile to the soul,
joy to the spirit.
Your beauty, Lord brings peace
to the stable of our minds
where Christ resides
and longs to birth
newness of life
in us…
today.
You CAN find me on Instagram where I share my meanderings along the way and struggle to stay focused on Scripture MORE than salivating over those succulent images of beauty found on Social Media.
Enthusiastically, Dawn
