"Staying Satisfied"

"The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing." (Psalms 34:10) Being distracted by the things of this world, is not just a temptation to us, it's something that we are bound to be part of, so we had better learn how to fight for what's right. The thing about young lions, is that they spend so much time playing, they don't really get serious about hunting for food until they finally realize that they are starving; by then, it takes every last once of strength that they have to make a kill. If there is something that you are distracted by and that leads you into temptation, then stay away from whatever it is that might be; sounds simple enough, doesn't it? But how often do we practice that when we want to be distracted? I would say, hardly ever! I did not say, when we are satisfied in the Lord, I said when we want to be distracted, which means that we are not satisfied and desire something else, for the moment. That is part of what "waiting upon the Lord" is all about, because we have an itch and we want it satisfied; but God would have us to sit still and seek His peace and the filling of His Spirit, which will always satisfy even the strongest desire we could possibly have; but we must sit still and do it!!! G.I.G.O., has significant meaning when it comes to distraction, especially if you are wanting to be distracted, because when you are, you will allow the garbage into your life, in one form or another; call it softening the blow, or whatever it is that might be that allows us to feel comfortable sinning before God. When we are filling ourselves with His word, and meditating upon His goodness, we will hardly have room for becoming distracted; and if by chance we do, then we need more of His word to meditate upon!
"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: happy is every one that retaineth her. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath He established the heavens. By His knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew. My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: so shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck. Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble. When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet." (Proverbs 3:13-24)
