BL: We Need God

 

People cannot satisfy what only God can give

 

Genesis 2: 4 This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the LordGod made the earth and the heavens.

5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the LordGod had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams[b]came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man[c] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,and the man became a living being.

 

Romans 1:18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness

 

22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for imagesmade to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

 

John Ortberg “The Truth is, the soul’s infinite capacity to desire is the mirror image of God’s infinite capacity to give.”
