Only Jesus Satisfies

Have you ever seen a bug that was drawn to the light? They will keep buzzing and bumping and going after the light no matter what. They are drawn after the light and cannot escape it because of their inner need to be close to the light. The question to ask yourself today is, “What am I drawn to?” Some people are drawn to worldly things, and some people are drawn to spiritual things.

For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary one to another, so that you cannot do the things that you would. - Gal. 5:17

If worldly things can bring such bad results then why are people drawn to it? We are caught in the same situation as the bug that is drawn to the light. We have an inner need that draws us to the things of this world. We often choose to compulsively go after those things even if it destroys us in the process.

This is the verdict: Light has come into the world but men loved darkness instead of the light because their deeds were evil. - John 3:19

How can we escape this? We must ask God to give us a heart that is drawn after Him. The things of this world do not satisfy, only God satisfies.

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of men are never satisfied. - Proverbs 27:20

But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all your works. - Psalms 73:28
