When I am in a place of comfort and prosperity (aka… when there is no shaking, suffering, persecution or trials)… the problem is that I am not looking for God to be Himself.
To be Jehovah-Jireh… everything that I need. The God who satisfies me.
My soul has never been satisfied by any of my efforts to satisfy my needs.
My soul has only ever been satisfied in my desperation on God.
So… just like a millionaire isn’t focused on the dollar that he gives to the beggar, but instead on the interaction with the beggar, I am learning that God isn’t focused primarily on meeting my needs, but on the interaction between Him & I.
The aim: I have decided to let the shaking be my car that drives me onto the bridge of desperation, that leads me to the place of satisfaction.
