Looking For Something More

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “Never Enough.” Mike Wittmer wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Ecclesiastes 1:1–11; with the key verse, “The eye never has enough of seeing.”, Ecclesiastes 1:8. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ; for all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

Ecclesiastes is a book hard to understand. I found it depressing at times. Life is like this also. I felt the most joy witnessing my children’s birth and holding them for the first time. After the newest, the routine of caring for them became routine. I can understand the excitement of first astronauts that circled the moon, then how bored the mission became.

What I concluded is that life in the world is empty. However, life with God is rewarding and fulfilling. Our truest joy comes from Jesus shining on us. Jesus is our life, the only ultimate source of meaning, love, and beauty. Our deepest satisfaction comes from out of this world.

Reflect:

When have you felt the most joy? Why didn’t it last? What can you learn from its fleeting nature?

Prayer:

Jesus, shine the light of Your love on me.

My Prayer for You:

I pray that Jesus shines the light of His love on you..
