What are you desiring today? Is it the things of God or the world?
The bible says in Matthew 4:4:
"It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
How important then is God's word? How much time are you spending in your bible? The devil tried to get the Lord to satisfy his flesh by tempting him to turn the stones into bread. What is the devil trying to get you to be satisfied with today? Trying to be satisfied with anything but the word of God and salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ will leave you empty, lost and hopeless!
Don't fall prey to the enemies tactics! You can never be satisfied with anything this world has to offer to you.
Ecclesiastes 1:8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
The world is always putting out a new movie, T.V. show, website, music, beautiful woman or handsome man, magazine, car, and house to try and make you think that you can be satisfied with these things, but it is not so my friend!
Ecclesiastes 4:8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labour; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my soul of good? This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
Ecclesiastes 5:10-11 He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity. When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is there to the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?
No matter how much money you have or will make, it will never satisfy!
Proverbs 27:20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.
Our desire should be towards God's word and His righteousness!
Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
