Being content with life and not having lack; is this the ultimate feeling of fulfillment? Is fulfillment really a feeling of wholeness or achievement, is it a sense of accomplishment, or is it knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is well with my soul?
Being fulfilled should be about more than just our desires satisfied, it should be a state of being where even if life is difficult and hard, even if I’m financially unstable, even in the midst of trials, I can say ‘it is well with my soul’. You see, no matter how much earthly wealth or possessions I have, my measure is Christ and that measure is always above the maximum line, always enough, never lacking.
Psalms 23:1-4 says it so beautifully:
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I have no lack in Him! Therefore I am fulfilled when I am resting in His provision, His security and His guidance.
