Worldly things do not satisfy!

As followers of Jesus we must learn that true satisfaction and peace of mind do not come from the world but from Jesus Himself. Until we get that in out thick heads we will not only continue to be disappointed ourselves but we disappoint God as well.

Thomas Kempis wrote: “When a man desires a thing too much, he at once becomes ill at ease.....he can hardly abstain from earthly desires.....he is quick to anger if reproved. Yet if he satisfies his desires, remorse of conscience quickly overwhelms him because he followed his passions and they did not lead to the peace he thought.”

Wow! That is so true but we do it over and over again. We have to learn that Jesus is our total satisfaction in life. He is life and that is why we live for Him in all areas of our lives!

Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

John 14:8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6:2 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

2 Peter 1:3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,

John 15:5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

We are here for to glorify God in all and there is nothing the world has to offer that cab be better than God Himself!!! Satisfy yourself in Him and Him alone!
