Have all of God you want
JANUARY 25
He that loveth silver shall never be satisfied with silver, nor he who loves abundance, with increase.... Ecclesiastes 5:10
We live in a day that confuses luxuries and necessities. Material things can never bring contentment, for they can never satisfy the deepest need of your heart. Either you can't get enough of them, or when you get them, you find out they don't meet your need.
Do you remember the story of the little boy who loved pancakes? One day his mother thought she would satisfy him, so she decided she would cook all the pancakes he wanted. He ate the first ones with relish and the second plate—if not with relish, at least with delight. He ate more, and then some more, and she just kept cooking them. Finally she asked, "Johnny, do you want another pancake?" He said, "No ma’am. I don't even want the ones I've already had."
Now that's the way it is with money. “He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver” (Ecclesiastes 5:10). When you get it all, it doesn't satisfy, and you want more.
This round world will never fit into your three-cornered heart. There’s nothing wrong with material things; they just can’t satisfy the deepest longing of your heart. Only the living God can do that. Be content with such things as you have. Learn a life of contentment. The Lord Jesus Christ can meet the deepest need of your heart.
