Happy is that people, that is in such a case:
Yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
ARE YOU DISSATISFIED?
ARE YOU DISSATISFIED?
Many Christians are dissatisfied, always wanting something else and feeling empty after we get it. Kids want more toys, teenagers want more freedom, adults want more money and seniors want more time.
dissatisfied
dissatisfied
: expressing or showing lack of satisfaction : not pleased or satisfied
THE WOMAN AT THE WELL
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
She was an adulterer, she had had many husbands before and was now living with a man without the benefit of marriage.
But Jesus appeared on the scene, and as he was there by the well, He knew the thirst deep down within her soul.
He knew she wasn't satisfied with what she had.
THE RICH MAN
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
In Luke 12 we see the story of the rich man who was greatly blessed with abundant crops.
Oh, what a fool this man was.
He possessed great wealth upon this earth, but you see, dear friend, it didn't do a thing for him.
Sin mocked this man and sin will do this to us.
The Bible says,
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
JUDAS, THE DISCIPLE
Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that. And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
I want you to notice a man who walked with the Lord, ate with the Lord, slept with the Lord, fellowship with the Lord for three years, and when we come to Matthew 27, he is checking out of this world.
He is packing his bags up, and it is time for him to go.
The Bible says, he is going to hang himself.
He wasn't happy at all.
He betrayed innocent blood and sinned against heaven.
PRODIGAL SON
A certain man had two sons, and the younger one said to his father;
And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
He traveled in a far country and lived there riotously, wasting all of his substance.
And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat and no man gave unto him.
