A DAILY ENCOUNTER WITH GOD ...

We have Snowmaggedon 2.0 today in the Dallas area. Another day to pause, embrace the day, spend time with family, work from home .... and it's also a great time to reflect. Today's devo (DAY 40) from my A Daily Encounter with God provides good food for thought.

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty
again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will
never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in
him a spring of water we l l i n g up to eternal life.” —John 4:13-14

What would it take to make you genuinely happy? What would it take to really satisfy you?

Would it be more money, more pleasure, greater success, better relationships, or a better physique? What would it take?

Unfortunately, the world screams that these are the things that will bring you ultimate satisfaction. And it’s so easy to buy into the notion that these things will truly satisfy.

But take another look at today’s verse. Jesus told the woman at the well that the things of this life won’t ever really satisfy us… only He will.

So many people today chase the dream of personal achievement… and find that it doesn’t really satisfy. Others think, “I’ll be happy if I can just find Mr. Right,” or “I’ll be fulfilled if I can just find Mrs. Right.” But even the best man or the best woman can’t satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart!

I can guarantee you that nothing… no human relationship… no job promotion… no amount of money in your bank account… will satisfy you like Jesus can.

If you’ve lost sight of this fact, I encourage you to ask God to help you realign your priorities today!

NOTHING IN LIFE WILL TRULY SATISFY YOU EXCEPT JESUS CHRIST
