Grandma’s Ring
Original air date 2-8-18
One of the keys to simplicity is satisfaction.
“We do not become satisfied by leading a peaceful and prosperous existence. Rather, we become satisfied when reality matches our expectations. The bad news is that as conditions improve, expectations balloon.” ―Yuval Noah Harari
Grandma’s wedding ring.
When “enough” is just a little more than you have, just a little more than you can handle, then you are light years away from simplicity.
Inward reality of satisfaction
Philippians 4:10-13
10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
“The Christian Discipline of simplicity is an inward reality that results in an outward life-style…We deceive ourselves if we believe we can possess the inward reality without its having a profound effect on how we live.” –Richard Foster (p.79)
Two actions, you can pick one for your challenge.
- Reject anything producing an addiction in you
- Enjoy something without owning it
