1. THE SEARCH FOR SATISFACTION IS FRUSTRATING

Don’t let your heart envy sinners; instead, always fear the LORD.

Proverbs 23:17 (CSB)

Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.

Psalm 127:3 (NASB95)

2. THE SATISFACTION SOLUTION

• Be Thankful.

in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NASB95)

• Be Content.

I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I find myself. I know how to make do with little, and I know how to make do with a lot. In any and all circumstances I have learned the secret of being content—whether well fed or hungry, whether in abundance or in need. I am able to do all things through him who strengthens me.

Philippians 4:11–13 (CSB)

Jesus said, “Everyone who drinks from this water will get thirsty again. But whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give him will become a well of water springing up in him for eternal life.”

John 4:13–14 (CSB)
