Satisfaction
I was reading in Mark and it struck me that even after Jesus had fed 5,000 people, the disciples doubted that He could feed 4,000 people. The reason it stood out to me is that we do the same thing when it comes to getting satisfaction from God. God satisfies us in so many ways, yet we still find it necessary to go out into the world and try to find satisfaction through it. God's satisfaction is eternal while the worlds is not. I'm guilty of it. I get so satisfied in Jesus then I go out and try to satisfy myself with things in the world. That is so wrong because God made us to have pleasure, but to find that pleasure in Him. What's not to enjoy about God as well? I feel like the world has so corrupted the idea of fun, pleasure, and happiness. All of these things can be found in God yet the world says that they are found in things like sex, money and drugs. The truth is that God is more fun, more pleasing, and makes you happier than anything the world can create. Recently I've been focusing myself more on God and being more centered around glorifying Him. I can tell you that I have never been happier, never been more pleased, and never had more fun than I have had serving Him. Looking back at when I've tried to be pleased by the world, it's amazing how big and important the difference is. The devil definitely takes some truth, and manipulates so it feels right and looks right, but it does not meet up with God's standards, and that one thing makes the difference. Anything that God does not approve of, no matter how close, is sin. Close doesn't cut it with God. The bible says "For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." This is direct from Jesus that close does not cut it. It shouldn't be surprise, going back to the original topic, that God is more satisfying than the world. Obviously God created the world, and satan, so anything created by them will be lesser and not as satisfying. So all in all, true and fulfilling satisfaction is only found in God and I challenge you to look only to God for satisfaction!
