Again and Again

I read Psalm 106 the story that has repeated again and again.

6 Like our ancestors, we have sinned. We have done wrong! We have acted Wickedly!
7 Our ancestors in Egypt were not impressed by the Lord’s miraculous deeds. They soon forgot his many acts of kindness to them. Instead, they rebelled against him at the Red Sea.
8 Even so, he saved them— to defend the honor of his name and to demonstrate his mighty power.
9 He commanded the Red Sea to dry up. He led Israel across the sea as if it were a desert.
10 So he rescued them from their enemies and redeemed them from their foes.
11 Then the water returned and covered their enemies; not one of them survived.
12 Then his people believed his promises. Then they sang his praise.
13 Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done! They wouldn’t wait for his counsel!
14 In the wilderness their desires ran wild, testing God’s patience in that dry wasteland.

God showed me this story during the first year of my christian walk and now thirty-three years later I still repeat it in my own life. I complain then God does a great miracle I complain. How quickly I forget the great miracles God has done in my life. It is only what are you God going to about the thing that makes me uncomfortable today.

As Paul says to Timothy in chapter six

6 Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.

Contentment something I have seldom known. Oh Lord forgive me and help me to be content with what you have provided and to be thankfully for you have already done. It has so much more than I ever deserved or expected out of life.
