I read recently of a little girl who received a bubble set. She was fascinated with the beautiful bubbles. Again and again she chased them, and tried to hold them. But as soon as she touched them, they were gone. They were beautiful but temporary. It reminds one of folks who try to find satisfaction in pleasure. Timothy, in the New Testament described such people as those who are “lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God.” And the book of Hebrews identifies the “fleeting, temporary, passing pleasures of sin.” Loose living is admittedly pleasant for a while, but it cannot satisfy our inner longings. Only Jesus can do that. The Psalmist says that God “satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” Fortunately, when we have grown tired of this world’s temporary “bubbles,” We have the promise- “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him…. He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He will also hear their cry….”
