Philippians 4:7 (NKJV) 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
When we start to feel like we don't get excited about worldly things, it's not because there is something wrong with us.
It's because we have reached a point in our walk where we are content and no longer in need of worldly things to keep us happy.
What brings excitement at this new place now is learning and growing in God!
I have felt bad a few times recently when I realized I wasn't getting excited about some things in my life that were good.
I was wondering if there was something wrong with me! I was wondering if I was being ungrateful.
I wondered what was happening. Years ago I would have gotten so excited about what had just taken place.
Don't get me wrong. I am in no way saying I don't enjoy nice things, I love it! It's just that I'm not striving for things anymore.
These things don't make me or break me based on whether they happen or not.
My emotions or excitement levels don't change because I got blessed. They are now stable and fixed on God.
He has brought me to a place in my walk where I have such a peace in just being near Him, or being in the place He wants me.
All I desire and look forward to is growing closer and going deeper in my relationship with God.
What excites me now isn't getting worldly things, but His peace that surpasses all understanding moving in me! That's pure excitement, and it brings stability that guides my emotions.
Amen.
