Yesterday, we saw that God makes Himself known to everyone, but lets us decide whether to pursue a relationship with Him. Unfortunately, those who don’t choose God ultimately end up feeling restless and empty. And the reason is because He has “set eternity in our heart” (Ecclesiastes 3:11).
By God’s design, true satisfaction is found only in a relationship with Him. Without the Lord, people continuously seek new ways to temporarily fill their hearts. And that quest often leads them to pursue unworthy idols: status, money, happiness, health, achievement, knowledge, or something else.
In his letter to the church at Rome, Paul described the phenomenon this way:
“They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever.” ~ Romans 1:25
• Wouldn’t you rather serve truth than falsehood? • Wouldn’t you rather serve the Creator, who is blessed forever, rather than the creature?
Scripture says that “the truth will set you free” (John 8:32) and “in [the Creator’s] presence is fullness of joy” (Psalm 16:11). We can choose a mediocre, unfulfilling life without the Lord, or we can have a rich and satisfying relationship with Him. It’s never too late to change your mind. _______________
