Prone to Wander


"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life." John 6:68


It amazes me how I can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only, ONLY, thing that will satisfy is Christ. Yet, I find myself constantly looking for that satisfaction in other places. I convince myself that it's easier to do things like watch a movie or sleep than spend time with the only One who can satisfy my desires. The only one who can bring me contentment, joy, and love.


I was just meditating on that verse a little bit, and reminded of the fact that there is no where else I could go, no one else I could go to. EVERYTHING besides the One who has the Words of eternal life will leave me empty and dry. There is no point in going anywhere else.


I can just see Simon Peter when Christ asks them if they are going to leave to thinking "There's no point now...now that we've spent time around the One who has the Words of life, we won't be satisfied with anything else."


What a blessing to be one who was chosen to be able to spend time with the One who has the words of eternal life!

How is that I ever want to be doing anything else?
