Ecclesiastes 3:11 says that God has planted eternity in the heart of mankind. This is a part of us that can only be satisfied by His presence. We have a spiritual hunger and thirst that cannot be satisfied with earthly pleasures and pursuits. They will always fall short of satisfying the God-shaped hole in our soul.
The Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (Gen. 2:17).
Someone once told me the story of a coworker whose life was going great. Great marriage… great family relations… great career… financially stable… and had great health. But he kept feeling that something was missing and couldn’t put his finger on it. Some kind of way God revealed to this coworker that his soul was hungering and thirsting for God. He came to Christ, and received satisfaction.
It's kind of like when you’ve missed some meals and your stomach is growling, then you sit down and enjoy your favorite meal. Nothing can begin to compare to the satisfaction of God’s presence. He is our breath of life.
Oh taste and see that the Lord is good.
