Discontentment vs Desire

I was reading some devotionals this morning and searching the scriptures about this subject and decided to write my commentary rather than cut and paste what the devotionals said. So here goes...........
In 1 Samuel 22 we see where there were those under the reign of Saul that were discontent because the scripture tells us that they went with David because they knew there was something more, something better than where they were. In Proverbs it tells us that the desire of the righteous shall be granted (10:24, 11:23). Proverbs also tells us that when we desire for something, and it finally comes--"is sweet to the soul" and "a tree of life." (13:12, 13:19, 18:1).
We have also read where the word tells us to be content, Phillipians 4:11, 1 Timothy 6:8, Hebrews 13:5. So many think that to long for or to have desire contradicts the Word of God........but this is not true. Who put that desire there? This is a matter of the heart. Does the desire line up with what the Word says about you? With what He says He came for you to have? (John 10:10 The theif comes to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life, and that more abundantly). Are we living in the more abundantly or have we just settled for all of the stealing the enemy has done to us? Are we living life to the full as this scripture says, or, are we just putting up with the enemy killing and destroying our lives, our hearts desires placed there by a Living, Loving, Live, Warrior God who say's "Fight for it, don't let the enemy rob you of what I came to give you, what I won back for you. Abide in it."
At the end of the day, when all is quiet and we are alone...we know there is much more than where we are. It nags at us. There is discontent because we know there is more to this life, more that God has called us to than where we are sitting at the moment. We are not discontent because we think God has not provided for us, blessed us, is leading us in this process.....we are discontent because God has shown us and is saying "I have so much more for you, don't stop. What does my word say, what does it show you, what have I placed in your heart?" Most of the time when the desire is too much to take, we bury it....we get into the business of life, serving, activities, because then we don't have to deal with it or think about it......until night comes, and we are in the quiet of our room, and then the nagging comes back, the calling is there, our heart starts to beat louder! We keep seeing 'glimpses', it keeps showing up in our 'dreams' when we are unguarded and God can get through to us. Even though we sleep, our desire doesn't. It IS who we are, it is the essence of the human soul, the secret of our existence. No human greatness has ever been accomplished without it. Desire fuels our search for the life we prize. The same old thing is not enough. It never will be.
