Have you ever wondered, “Is this all there is?” I think we all have at one time or another for one simple reason. Deep down inside of each one of us there has been placed an unquenchable desire for more. We all want to be part of something bigger than the narrow borders of our own lives. We want to live lives that truly matter. We want to feel that we are doing something that is making a difference and will live on long after we are gone.
God has made us for more. The problem comes in when we are seeking that “more” without the Master. In this fallen and broken world some do it by seeking “more” in their work. Some do it by seeking “more” in their recreation. Some do it by seeking “more” in their relationships. Still others do it by seeking “more” in supporting some special cause. But seeking “more” without the Master is actually seeking so much less. It is exactly what Adam and Eve did in the Garden when they bought into Satan’s lie of “more.”
Satan’s more is self-absorption; Satan’s more is self-satisfaction; Satan’s more is self-survival; Satan’s more is self-reliance
The more that we have been made for is not more of the self. It is more of the Savior. As Augustine once said, “There is a God-shaped void in each one of us that can only be filled by God.” The more we try to fill this void with the things of this world the less we will be filled. So what “more” have you been seeking lately? Over the next two days take a close look and as you do, answer this question, “What is your “more” that is driving your life?” The answer will never be found in simply having a purpose. Everyone has some kind of purpose they are living for. The answer will never be found in a position, prosperity or pleasure. It is only to be found in a person and His name is Jesus Christ. NEVER FORGET THAT…AMEN!
