Insatiable


Why is it that no man can be satisfied? Regardless, of the career, salary, toys, marriage, family, or friends - men continually struggle to be happy.

We find ourselves stuck at work or feeling like were stopped at a dead end with no room to turn around. The worst part is we don't seem to know why and we can't seem to get out of it.

Many of us consider ourselves smarter than the other guy at work or even the boss. We know we could run the place better. We feel underpayed and underappreciated.

All of which gets us nowhere.

Is there an answer to our problem? For many of us, even when we know things are not going well, we can't seem to fix it. We try to get moving, but even 'going through the motions' is in itself a drag. When we stategize at work it doesn't seem to change the big picture, when we talk to our wives they can' t seem to understand, and we're not sure how to discuss it with our peers.
After all, we are sharp and we don't want some other loser thinking we can't keep it together.

For many of us, even when we try to find something at church, it still doesn't seem able to make the light go on.

Perhaps, the real truth is that we really can't do anything about it. Only God can.
