 Has true satisfaction eluded you? When you're indoors you long to be outdoors? When you're outside you want to be inside-  or somewhere other than where you are? When you're working you wish you were off, but if you're off too long you wish you were working again.  When it's hot outside you wish it was cold but when it grows cold out you wish you were hot again. When you're alone you wish you had some company but when you have too much company you wish you were alone. Why? Why is total satisfaction so hard to attain? 


I believe we won't truly be content until we're with our God in eternity. Our dissatisfaction here keeps us seeking him, needing him -  pressing into him, daily. Entertainment is designed to keep us happy, content, so we don't feel the need for him. We end up turning our hearts toward pleasures rather than to jim. We substitute wordly pleasures for godly ones. Here's an idea -  sacrifice your flesh on the altar of his will for you, daily. Invite the fire of God to  consume you, to burn all that is unclean and unholy. God loves a good BBQ! 

                             " AND NOAH BUILDED AN ALTAR UNTO THE LORD,  AND TOOK OF E ERY CLEAN BEAST, AND OF EVERY CLEAN FOWL, AND OFFERED BURNT OFFERINGS ON THE ALTAR. AND THE LORD SMELLED A SWEET SAVOUR, AND THE LORD SAID IN HIS HEART, I WILL NOT AGAIN CURSE THE GROUND"


In Scripture,  ground equates to flesh. If you want your flesh to live forever, flesh blessed and not damned to God's garbage dump, hell, than give it to him now. Let him burn it with the fire of his presence ( our God is an all consuming fire). Either wa, it's gonna burn, with heaven's fire now, or in the lake of fire later.
