Good Wednesday morning! He is the perfect Lord; wonderful, Counselor, Almighty God, Prince of Peace, and Savior! Like me, you have probably tried to find satisfaction in something in this world. We have all probably lamented the lack of satisfaction to be found in things and people all around us. Several messages came this morning talking about satisfaction. Since I see no sense in fighting city hall so to speak... I'll jump on and write about satisfaction too! :-)
Inevitably it seems, the subject of satisfaction in the world's stuff comes up at this time of the year. The likelihood of this having much to do with fireworks is quite high. Few things in this life are of more temporary satisfaction than that of firecrackers or fireworks of any kind. Sparklers and smokers last longer than other kinds, but they are still gone quickly. Most fireworks are gone in an instant. Today, I should do some research in this to see how much is spent on a typical day on something that is gone so very soon. Even something like candy gives something back...usually in the form of fat hanging around your middle. Fireworks? They're just gone.
All of the things of this world will not last for us. Either the item wears out or we leave it behind. Money we hoard doesn't go with us. Machines we buy eventually wear out, get stolen, or are destroyed. Each of us could give the others a long list of things that cannot satisfy us in the end. Most of the items on our respective lists would not satisfy for more than a few moments at a time. Some of the best things in this life, a kiss, a hug, a thank you, a "good job", are fleeting indeed. As our ministers are telling us today; true and lasting satisfaction is found only in the Lord Jesus!
Have a wonderful day in Christ!
