The reason that choosing to look for satisfaction in other things is so dangerous is simply because once a man chooses to do this he can no longer be satisfied with God. Satisfaction is not merely a perk of God’s presence. It is the means by which He frees us and empowers us to be able to obey Him. A man is bound to his own lusts and self-centered cravings until he lies at the feet of Him who feeds with bread from another world.
