LOOKING FOR MORE

Are you looking for more out of life? Ecclesiastes 1:8 reads, “No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content.” There’s a story about a poor man who went to his King and complained about his state of poverty: “These rags are all that I have.” The king proceeded to offer the beggar riches, pleasures and honor with one condition – “Give up half of what you now possess: give one of your two boys, one of your eyes, one ear, one hand, one foot.” The poor man realized that he possessed much and that he had failed to appreciate what he had. The Apostle Paul was a hi-caliber lawyer that studied under the tutelage of the best legal luminaries of his time, and I believe he was a wealthy attorney. When he met the Lord on the road to Damascus, his view of wealth was changed. In Philippians 3:8 he said, “Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I may have Christ.” If you’re looking for more, you’re going to find it in Jesus.
