Satisfaction

The Rolling Stones used to sing, "I can't get no satisfaction."

I was reading this week in John Ortberg's new book that talk-show host Dennis Prager wrote about an ad he read for a sex therapist in Los Angeles: "If you're not completely satisfied with your sex life, give us a call."

The more he thought about it, the more he was stuck by the brilliance of the ad, all because of two words: "completely satisfied."

Who is ever completely satisfied with anything?

John Ortberg writes:

"Imagine these ads:

If you're not completely satisfied with your spouse, give us a call.
If you're not completely satisfied with y our body, give us a call.
If you're not completely satisfied with you church, give us a call.

Here's what he writes, and it is so true, "we are completely satisfied with nothing."

Wow. What a thought. We are completely satisfied with nothing.

What would it take to satisfy you in any area of life?

We can be so demanding can't we!

Our problem isn't that we want more. Wouldn't you agree that our problem is that we are looking in all the wrong places? We are not just physical beings, we are spiritual beings, created by God for communion and connection with Him.

Our deepest hunger is spiritual. If our spiritual hunger is not met than all the rest will continue to be in the land of dissatisfaction.

The apostle Paul wrote, "I have learned the secret of being content."

Are you content today?
