Is there anything new that can satisfy us?

With the start of the new year, what is new to you?
Do you have a new year resolution?
What do you hope to achieve this year?
What do you hope to have this year?
What do you hope to try this year?

The book of Ecclesiastes stated clearly that all are in vain.
Whatever we try to do, it has been attempted before.
Whatever we try to get, people have possessed it before.
Whatever we want to try, people have tried it before.

Yet, there is no real and lasting satisfaction.
We may be happy for a short while, but the happiness will fade.
As long as we look to temporal things on Earth, we will never be satisfied.

This is because we are created this way.
Our real source of satisfaction can only come from the Lord.
When we see Him face to face, we will be content.

Let us look to Him to fulfil our hearts' desire.
