DESIRE

Have you ever been to chilis? Do you like the chips and salsa there? They have the best chips and salsa! I can’t get enough of it. I could keep eating that stuff all day and not even order any food. In fact, I’ve done that before. Are there any other types of food that you can't seem to get enough of?
 

I also can’t seem to buy enough deodorant. Ask anyone who knows me, I have a drawer full of deodorant and however much I buy, I can’t buy enough. It’s not because I’m afraid of stinking. I’m never satisfied! Do y’all ever feel that way? Well, there’s verse that I kind of put together with this concept.  God is greater in power than any man. “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best from the land” (Isaiah 1:19)  “The LORD appeared to us in the past, saying: "I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving-kindness.” (Jeremiah 31:3) And it goes on to say that underneath are the everlasting arms.

He is telling us that He wants us to be happy with what we have, right? Why can’t we? It’s human nature to crave more and more! We can’t help it! We have to trust God that He will provide the things we need and not the things we want! Do you think God was like I need more shoes, clothes, friends, money! NO! He was human too! But He was perfect.

DESIRE - Everything is never enough. The truth is, we live life to satisfy ourselves. "I am Number One" is how we live. The problem is that once we achieve or accomplish the things we thought would bring us happiness, we find ourselves as empty as before. It never seems to never be enough. Why? Because the emptiness we feel is spiritual, not just physical or emotional.
