God has made man with a thirst, a hunger for Him, but man refuses the well of Living Water making for himself broken cisterns that cant even hold water. Our society chases money, materialism, fame, popularity, pleasure, usually all because of greed, but its all the wrong stuff. The sad part of it is many never finds it because they define it in the wrong way. Inevitably trying to fill themselves up with self-indulgent, pleasures, possessions, power and praise. In Luke Chapter 12, in verse 17 we meet the rich fool. The rich fool said within himself what shall I do, because I have no place to bestow my crops. And he said this will I do. I will pull down my barns and I will build greater barns and there will I bestow all my crops and all my goods. He wasnt about to share them with anybody. He was just going to pile them up. And I will say to my soul, soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many, many years. Take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. He had ambition. He was possession hungry. And God said to him, You fool, this night they soul shall be required of thee. Then whose shall those things be which you have provided? 1 John Chapter 2 warns that we cant get satisfied in the world. Love not the world neither the things that are in the world. Whats in the world? The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, and none of that stuff abides forever. Its just wind. Pastor MacArthur-/-Have a great day everyone.
