I identify with Eve, surrounded by the abundant blessings of God, yet still feeling a hunger for “more.” Contentment with what I have often clashes with a longing for what I don’t. My attention is drawn toward things that are "a delight to the eyes."

What a beautiful post. 🥰 The topic of contentment was preached at church on Sunday and reading this again, I continue to ponder this. There are things I desire and distractions aplenty, but gauging my heart condition is paramount. Sometimes simplicity is what the season brings. Sometimes God blesses lavishly. Am I content with either? In my desire for more, am I still content with what I have? Am I pursuing more of God and allowing Him to bless me as He wishes, or am I pursuing blessings and more things that pull my heart away from God? Lord, show me if there are any ugly heart motives in me that cause me to not be content with You alone. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
