It Never Stops

We cannot stop wanting God. We cannot stop wanting to grow. When we hit a "good streak" in our faith, we cannot just be satisfied with that and stop. That isn't how faith works. Your faith is shaped ultimately by God, but also by the events and things happening around you. We can never "see it all." There is always going to be more. God is so infinitely great, and it just doesn't stop. When you get bored, it's not God's fault. It's not because God isn't doing anything. It's because you've stopped trying and stopped pressing forward, you have found some sort of content with where you are now and by filling yourself up with worldly entertainment, which takes away from your wanting God. You have to lay those things down. You have to continue to search for Him. You will find Him everywhere. He will continue to reveal Himself to you in new, amazing ways. 

And in that process we have to learn to be thankful. Thankful for what we have right now. Thankful for the many blessings God gives us. Thankful for our circumstances, whether they are good or bad. Know that everything you have belongs to God. It is not yours. You are not even yours. You are God's. When you lose sight of that thankfulness, you have to remember to spend quiet time with Him. Start with small chunks every day, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 7 minutes, 10 minutes. Its about forming a habit of doing it every day, yet we have to remember we don't want to view it as a habit because then it will seem to get old. We have to view it has a positive experience that is helping us grow each day and improving the quality of each day. We have to learn to see things through God's eyes, for He is our guide. 

Psalm 119:105 NLT
Your word is a lamp to guide my feet
    and a light for my path.

Psalm 40:5 NLT

O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us.
    Your plans for us are too numerous to list.
    You have no equal.
If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds,
    I would never come to the end of them.
