"Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance."
Basically this passage just reminded me that I do not need to go searching for things of this world to satisfy me. Physical things here on earth will never be enough, so I don't need to spend all I have searching for things to make me happy. It will never work. Possessions, popularity, or anything else that one may try to obtain are things that will only last for a short time. I do not need to live like a hedonist who strives only for pleasure. Earthly pleasures are nothing in comparison to the satisfaction, peace, and happiness that having a relationship with God can give you. He is the only one who can satisfy all your needs. He is the giver of life.

That's a good reminder. I've had a case of "the wants" lately and feeling sorry for myself for things we don't have. None of it will matter in the end though! Good reminder! Thanks Jess! :)
