Searching In A Wrong Places?

Is this wordly things can satisfy our soul?
The materials things of this world, the craving of our eyes, the desires of wanting more
to ourselves...are all these are valuable in your life?
God had warned the people of Israel and will take away the blessings from them
if they disobey Him and living a life of sin.
(Micah 6:14-15)
You will eat but not satisfied; your stomach will still be empty.
You will store up but save nothing, because what you save I will give to the sword.
You will plant but not harvest; you will press olives but not use the oil on yourselves,
you will crush grapes but not drink the wine.

If we keep looking for what can make us happy and never found it, we may become
frustrated, a failure and miserable creature. We looked for vain and exhausted.

Did you know that Jesus Christ is the only One that can give us contenment and
satisfy our soul?
"With joy you will draw water from the well of salvation."  (Isaiah 12:3)

Our frustration and our failures will actually lead us to Christ...and it is a blessings indeed!
"Godly sorrow bring repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but wordly
  sorrow brings death." (2Corinthians 7:10)

We should not look further and search for what can satisfy us. Jesus our Lord and our
Savior are standing at the door ready to receive us...if we let Him. (Revelation 3:20)

And Jesus said He is the Bread of Life.  (John 6:35)
"I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who
 believes in me will never be thisty.
"I am the bread that came down from heaven." (v.41)
  I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life. I am the bread of life.
  Here is the bread from heaven, which a man may eat and not die.
  I am the "Living Bread" that came down from heaven, if anyone eats of this bread,
  he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
  For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.
  (v.47-51,33)
  Whoever eats my fleah and drink my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at
  the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
  Whoever eats my fleah and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.
  Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds
  on me will live because of me. (v.54-57)

Let's take it to heart what God offered for us and a promising of eternal life through
His Son and of continuing living in Him.

Father, God we come before you and offer our cares and our concerned of this world
to you at the feet of the Cross. We want to put you first out of everything and put right
our standing position in you. Filled us conitnually with the Bread of heaven. Amen.
