The great Hebrew prophet Isaiah tells us that contentment is to be had by staying your mind on God.
What does it mean to “stay” your mind?
It means to keep something at the forefront of your consciousness, put your attention there and keep it there.
Ok, I’m staying my mind on God. What’s next?
It is from this position of focus that we must yearn for God, earnestly seek him.
As Jesus tells us, if we seek, we will find.
And when we find, we’ll also find that — to our great happiness — contentment has been thrown in as well.
