God Will Sustain and Strengthen Us
When Jesus showed up on earth the Roman Empire was in decline and had become enmeshed with hedonism and paganism. In the Jewish religious community there was some hollowness in all the ritualism and lawkeeping. Jesus came to earth at the perfect time. He showed a way of life that was so much better than anything in existence, and that same overflowing life is available to us today. Nothing will satisfy like Jesus. God has set eternity in our hearts. (Ecc. 3:11) There’s a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man that can't be filled by any created thing. It can only be filled by Jesus. He came to seek and save us, He cares about us more than anyone else can, and He has a plan for our life. The devil is a diminishing being, while God is a replenishing being. Where the devil tries to diminish us, God comes in to sustain and strengthen us.
