453) When you were a kid, did you eat too much of something and get sick? Haggai 1:6 warns us of not being satisfied with what we have. Contentment is a valuable thing; it is not based on what you have or don’t have. God gives us what we need, therefore we can be content.

The Look of Disappointment

393)  We are familiar with Peter’s denial of knowing Jesus but Luke 22:61 tells us that after Peter’s 3rd statement, Jesus turns and looks at him, perhaps hurt and disappointed. If I kept this in mind when I’m thinking of doing something wrong, I might not be so quick to do it.
