Happy Friday, my friends! I pray that you all have a wonderful weekend, and would like to share with you one of my favorite quotes that I have been reminded of lately.
I was looking through some writings I had done years ago, and found this quote from George Mueller. He states,
“I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man might be nourished.”
Recently, as mentioned in some previous posts, I have been discontent in certain areas. However, the Lord has been reminding me more than ever of the importance of spending time reading and absorbing His word every day. It is so easy to get bogged down with the trials of life and neglect spending time with the Lord. However, that should be our most important priority before anything else.
True contentment and peace comes from spending time with Jesus.
No matter what you’re discontent in, whether it be your health, singleness, job, or something else — you can find true joy and happiness by giving your time to Jesus. I do not know what you are struggling with today, but make it a priority to take some time and make your soul ”happy in the Lord.”
