Divine Dissatifaction

Today, I had a few moments to read some of the most inspiring speeches delivered by a man and a moment that took place some 40 years ago. The man was Martin Luther King Jr. As he was concluding a speech at the 11th Convention of Southern Christian Leadership Conference, he said these words.

In conclude by saying today that we have a task, and let us go out with a divine dissatisfaction.

Let us be dissatisfied until America will no longer have a high blood pressure of creeds and an anemia of deeds.

Let us be dissatisfied until those who live on the outskirts of hope are brought into the metropolis of daily security.

Let us be dissatisfied until men and women, however black they may be, will be judged on the basis of the content of their character, not on the basis of the color of their skin. Let us be dissatisfied.

Let us be dissatisfied until that day when the lion and the lamb shall lie down together, and every man will sit under his own vine and fig tree, and none shall be afraid.

Let us be dissatisfied, and men will recognize that out of one blood God made all men to dwell upon the face of the earth us be dissatisfied until that day when nobody will shout, "White Power!" when nobody will shout, "Black Power!" but everybody will talk about God's power.

I have heard may Pastors use the phrase "divine dissatisfaction" before to inspire groups of people to move forward with the vision of the church. I was also surprised to find out that this phrase had been used by Dr. King some 40 years ago. But no mater how old this phrase is, it's power of it still remains.

How about it? Do you have a divine dissatisfaction with your life, your family our church? We all should be motivated to march with His spirit this next years and allow our divine dissatisfaction to help us accomplish the vision God has for your life.

Have an Awesome Day
