Whenever you are sincerely pleased, you are nourished.
The Lord nourishes his flock in many ways. One can find His nourishment in many places. God's nourishment is a pleasing warm peaceful feeling. Seek it out. Where to start? Find it in those quiet times of prayer and meditation where everything is just you and Him.
Also from arrogant ones restrain your servant; let them never control me. Then shall I be blameless, innocent of grave sin.

Brothers, I for my part do not consider myself to have taken possession. Just one thing: forgetting what lies behind but straining forward to what lies ahead, I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus.
