Our Scripture: Romans 8:20 “The creation (mankind) was subjected to futility (emptiness).”

The famous philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) said, “There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus”

Pascal was born to a life of privilege in his native France. As a brilliant mathematician in the 1600's, he defined amazing mathematical systems. He invented the first calculating device and established the first trolley system in Paris!
Even with his great intellect, he was unable to find peace. At age 31, he encountered Jesus and became a vibrant Christian and defender of the Bible. He found real fulfillment and satisfaction through knowing God.

Pascal helps us understand that something is missing inside us, what he called a “God-shaped vacuum”. People try many things to fill this empty spot in their souls. Whatever you own, wear or put inside you will eventually leave you unsatisfied and unfulfilled. This is not an accident, but a plan by our Creator to reach our hearts.

Remember our verse? “The creation was subjected to futility- emptiness.” The Creation- thats all of us, were given this empty spot in our souls for a reason. He desires, He hopes that people will reach out to Him to fill their hearts- fulFILLment. The Lord Jesus in our hearts, no more God-shaped vacuum! Our hearts will be full!

Do you feel it? An emptiness inside? No fulfillment?
Only total trust in Jesus can fill the hole in your soul!
