Do you want Sunshine or not?

Proverbs 21:17 “You're addicted to thrills? What an empty life! The pursuit of pleasure is never satisfied.”

As the seasons change, I find it hilarious to listen to everyone wishing it was another season other than the one they’re currently in.  If it’s summer it’s too hot and needs to be spring.  If it’s winter it needs to be summer because it’s too cold.  It would seem we’re never satisfied with what we’ve got.  Always wanting more more more.  Unfortunately, no matter how much we get we won’t ever be satisfied.  Our satisfaction is found in Christ not material possessions, labels, or absolutely anything else in this world.  The satisfaction we yearn for is nothing like the satisfaction we’re given in Christ.  Do you know what I find satisfying?  The look on a young mother’s face when she realizes her children will have presents on Christmas morning because someone went out of their way to help her in Jesus’ name.  I love Taco Bell’s slogan, “Think outside the bun.”  The majority of fast food places are based on hamburgers where is Taco Bell is based on tacos.  Instead of basing our lives and satisfaction on the human instinct that pops into our head, which the majority of mankind lives by, think outside the human bubble we tend to put ourselves in and grasp God’s instinct.  If you’re willing to try everything else, then why not at least try this? 

Ecclesiastes 4:7-8 “I turned my head and saw yet another wisp of smoke on its way to nothingness: a solitary person, completely alone—no children, no family, no friends—yet working obsessively late into the night, compulsively greedy for more and more, never bothering to ask, "Why am I working like a dog, never having any fun? And who cares?" More smoke. A bad business.”
