Money cannot satisfy man
Education cannot satisy man
Pleasure cannot satisfy man
Neither can success satisfy man.
No matter what type of person we are or what our profession is - Our purpose in life is to be with the Lord…Our profession is to preach the Word.
In the beginning, God created us for His economy. Man was created different from all other creatures. Man has God's image. A glove is created according to the likeness of a hand with the purpose of containing the hand. Likewise, man was created in the image of God with the purpose of containing God.
We are the vessels of God. God wants to be our content. As bottles are made to contain water, we are made to contain God. This is the reason why we won't ever be satisified unless we contain God. Knowledge, wealth, pleasure and accomplishment is not the essence of our being.
Man is God's vessel. And this vessel is divided into 3 parts - the Spirit, the Soul, and the Body. The BODY is simply the physical body belonging to the physiological level, contacting the things of the material realm and is the most superficial part. The SOUL is the mental faculty belonging to the psychological level, contacting the things of the mental realm, and is a deeper part. The SPIRIT is the deepest part of man, belonging to the spiritual level, and contacts the things of God.
For problems of the body one may see a doctor
For problems of the mind one may visit a psychiatrist
Yet only God can solve the problems of the Spirit.
Unless we feed our spirit, we won't ever feel satisfied. God wants to enter into our spirit to become our content and satisifaction. This is the purpose of human existence. We are not merely created to contain food in our stomach or to contain knowledge in our mind, BUT we are created to contain God in our Spirit.
