Isaiah 55:1-3
Few people ever reach contentment.In fact, one poet put it this way.

As a rule, man’s a fool
When it’s hot, he wants  it cool.
And when it’s cool, he wants it hot,
Always wanting what is not.

Isn’t this the truth?  We live in a world filled with discontented people. Everywhere you look, people are striving to get more stuff.  They are laboring to have more things. Not many people are completely content and satisfied with their place in life.

I think that the answer lies in the fact that people are looking for true contentment in places, people and things that can never provide contentment to them.

~A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in the stream. The next day she met another traveler who was  hungry,and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the women’s give to him. She did so without hesitation.  The traveler left rejoicing his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security’s a lifetime.
But,a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise women. He said,”I been thinking,  I know how valuable this stone is but I give it back in hope that you can give me something even more precious.Give me  what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone.

The women didn’t need riches to give her joy.She had joy in her heart. ~
