Some people feel that a satisfying worthwhile consists of:
*A good education
*close friends
*a good marriage and healthy children
*success in a business or profession
*helping those in need
*involvement with Israel and the Jewish community
These are important …
yet we all know people who have or do these things but aren’t satisfied.
WHY?
Because there is something even more important than all these.
The Holy Scriptures tell us five vital facts we need to know.
ONE – God is the source of a satisfying, worthwhile life
Psalm16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
This kind of life is the result of a close relationship with God. “In thy presence … at thy right hand”
Speaks of a personal relationship which can be as intimate as the one between Abraham and God:
Isaiah 41:8 But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. Habakkuk 1:13
Deep down, just about everyone wants a life and relationship like this. As a Jewish scientist put it:
“The Jewish nature and soul needs to know God. This is its purpose on earth. Our souls are looking for God and we are trying to know God.”
WHY, then, aren’t most people experiencing this life and relationship?
