Always Wanting More

Posted in Devotions. on Saturday, January 7th, 2017 by Anthony

I have realized in my life that I’ve always wanted more! I found myself not content with where I am in life.  It wasn’t just ambition, no it was envy, it was jealously, it was all the lies that tell us we are not enough.  I even find myself today battling this same desire.  What I should be wanting more of is God.  He truly is the only truth we have.  He is the only constant and what He says stands true.

God has used me in amazing ways in my life. I have been a huge influence to many who have crossed my path. God has shown me how to surrender to Him, however I mostly fall flat on my face. I have had a lot of success as a Coach but yet I look and see how close we have come to championships and find myself not content.  The true victories were not on the field but in each heart of those students that came into my path. Taking this year off has shown me where my real impact has been. I’m thankful for that… 

I also find myself wanting more when it comes to a family. I know it is in God’s time but it is tough to watch couples walking together or being together. It is tough watching families as they travel and shop and eat together.   It’s tough when everyone you are close to has their family. I find myself wanting more. Not showing gratitude for where I am in life.

I don’t think it’s necessarily wrong to always want to improve but it is wrong to always want more.   If I can’t be satisfied with where I am now how can God give me more for my future. This is bigger than just blocking my blessing this can change the path of my life.

God’s timing and God’s voice. I have to man up and listen to that still quiet voice and stop giving into temptation. If God is going to heal me.. He has to have full access to me!! YHWH created us in His image and that is the image I need to show at home, work,  in friendships and with the person I’m in love with. Amen

One Love, One King, All Christ
