I know far less after 18-plus years of teaching than I thought I did right out of grad school.
The same is true in my walk with Christ. I felt a whole lot smarter and wiser as a newborn Christian than I am today. Though I know that I must learn to be content with my provision, my gifts, and my circumstance, I can’t get complacent and be satisfied with where I am.
I hope I never get to the point where I think…
- I understand God or His Word
- I have accomplished God’s purpose for my life
- I have achieved all I can achieve for God
- I know Christ as well as He can be known
- the torch has passed to a younger generation
- there’s no one left for me to reach
- God has nothing left to teach me
- I’ve dug as deeply as there is to dig
- I have nothing left to confess
- I no longer need to bear fruit…or my cross
- I’m already where God wants me to remain
If I’m on the path, there’s still path left to travel. If I’m no longer moving, I’m no longer on the path.

How many truly contented people do you know? How many people are in your life about whom you could honestly say that they have everything they want and need? Someone who never says, “I’m not satisfied with only what I have—I want what they have”?
