Good Morning Friends,
“He has made everything beautiful in its
time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom
what God has done from beginning to end.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
Solomon learned that God has “set eternity in
the hearts of men.” There is an emptiness in the heart of mankind that is only
filled by connecting with God.
It was Blaise Pascal who made the same point
when he talked of the “God-sized hole” in the hearts of men that can only be
filled by God.
People attempt to fill that emptiness with
many things other than God. They try hard work and career advancement. They try
giving themselves to all kinds of pleasure. They try accumulating wealth. They
try drugs and alcohol to extremes. In all of these ways and many more, men and women
are trying to dull the feeling of emptiness that they feel.
But none of those pursuits will ever fill the
emptiness. The hole will remain until they surrender their lives to God. In
that surrender, and only in that surrender, the emptiness is filled. That’s the
way God has created us. He has created us to need Him.
His, by Grace,
Steve
