FAITH CAPSULE: Are you living without satisfaction?

1 Samuel 8

To have life without living in satisfaction, one is bound to experience an evil agenda.
Are you living without satisfaction?
Satisfaction is crucial to living life for the glory of God.
God knows better; He knows what is good in His giving.
What are you asking God?
With fair honesty, God does not own a single soul.
In all creation, God has invested in the lives of all with abundance, but the cry of dissatisfaction is loud all over.
God, in His goodness and mercy, gave His beloved son to give life abundantly for all.
For anyone who believes in His beloved son, such shall have life abundantly.
God gave satisfaction to all.
God is still giving unstoppably.
Jesus, the gift of God to all states, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
Distraction will prevent one from living life abundantly.
One without satisfaction does not know how to live by the promise of God.
Be satisfied with the gift of God to avoid looking into what is in the hands of others.
The Israelites looked at their neighbours in comparison to what God had given them.
The Israelites demonstrated a lack of satisfaction.
God gave the children of Israel judges to rule over them as a nation, while the neighboring nations had kings.
Seeing this, the children of Israel wanted to have a king and be like neighboring nations.
The Israelites approached Samuel the prophet and judge of Israel,
“Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah, and said to him, ‘Look, you are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” So Samuel prayed to the LORD. (1 Samuel 8:4-6)
The Israelites requested a king like their neighboring nations.
Are you looking into the portion of your neighbor rather than looking up to God with thanksgiving for the gift in your life?
Through Samuel, God responded to the Israelites, “And the LORD said to Samuel, “Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.  According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day—with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods—so they are doing to you also. Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.” (1 Samuel 8:7-9)
Why or what is the reason you are looking into the gift of God to your neighbor?
