the eyes of man are never satisfied

I just read a GREAT book by Bill Gothard.

I have been studying the different names by which the Lord has revealed Himself.

"Qanna" is one of them, Jealous. He is jealous for our good...meaning He is jealous for us completely.

Because He knows what is good for us:

Him.

One thing Gothard discusses (pp. 73) is Love of the World.

He brings out many Scritpures in this book, but here cites

Proverbs 27:20

Death and Destruction are never satisfied,

and neither are the eyes of man."

Sure, Proverbs speaks often of the adulteress, but I think he is invoking much more in this proverb. Gothard discusses three lusts after which people seek:

the flesh, the eye, and the pride of life.

We all seem to struggle with at least one of these, if not a combination of them...

Solomon understands that any of these lusts is connected with Death and Destruction.

Will any of these destroy you?

Will you seek Our Jealous God to give you victory?

The Lord bless you and draw you close to Him!
