1 Chronicles 28:1-21; Ezekiel 24:1-25:17; John 9:1-17
Do not turn aside; for then you would go after empty things which cannot profit or deliver, for they are nothing. 1 Samuel 12:21, NKJV
It is sad when a believer turns aside from their love for the Lord, in an effort to find satisfaction in the passing pleasures or treasures of this world. God says they are “empty” and will come to nothing. Only Christ can satisfy the deepest longings of our hearts. He can satisfy me now, whatever my circumstances, and He will continually satisfy my soul into eternity. —David Croudace
I tried the broken cisterns, Lord, but, ah, the waters failed!
E’en as I stooped to drink they fled, and mocked me as I wailed.
Now none but Christ can satisfy, none other name for me;
There’s love and life and lasting joy, Lord Jesus, found in Thee. —E. M. Shuttleworth
