This thing about time and
satisfaction…what happened at the fall where we have lost our perspective of a
long-term goal and now continually wrestle with satisfaction for the moment we
are in? How many times have we
traded in better things for having a desire met in the now, even when we knew
it wasn’t really going to be good for the long run?
Whether you battle the
desire for more possessions, chocolate, food, sex, alcohol, drugs, or some
other emotional charge, it seems that life for most of us is a battle for
choosing what will actually be for our good. Few of us suffer from a desire of too much God, though it is
rather astonishing what we have access to if we did. We chase such silly poor substitutes for what would actually
bring us life and peace and adventure and security and blessing.
Odd, when what we mostly
want is life and peace and adventure and security and blessing.
