| Good morning everyone, Our theme for this month: “What the world needs now” Our Bible verse for today: “He has also placed eternity in their hearts.” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (CSB) Our thought for today: “They want what you have” This morning, I want to share with you a very important truth that I also addressed in my sermon at Oak Hill Baptist Church last Sunday (4/6/25) (www.youtube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville). It is this: You have spiritual truth to share that the other person’s heart is longing for. Even if you don’t realize it; even if they don’t realize it; and even if it doesn’t appear to be true; the heart of every person you meet today is longing to know God. The reason that is true is because that’s the way God created the human heart. That’s the great spiritual truth Solomon revealed to us in Ecclesiastes 3:11 – God has created the human heart with an inherent awareness that there is a God and we do want to know Him. That’s why every culture that has ever existed in the history of the human-race has had a belief in the supernatural and in an afterlife, and it is why all cultures have created gods for themselves and they have worshiped those gods. It’s because God has created the human heart with a desire to know Him. Deep in the human heart there is a longing for God. The great theologian Saint Augustine wrote, “You have created us for yourself, oh God, and our hearts are restless, searching, until we find our rest in you.” The French philosopher Blaise Pascal observed, “There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of man that can only be filled by God.” Those statements are true of every person you will encounter today even if they don’t know it, or if they deny it, and even if they refuse to accept it. People try to soothe that ache in their heart and to fill the empty place with all sorts of things including other gods, and drugs or alcohol, or accomplishments and possessions, but really what their heart is longing for is God. My friend, deep down in their heart that other person wants what you have. You know Jesus and you can share Him with them. Start by showing them the love of Jesus, then you can tell them the truth about Jesus. God bless, Pastor Jim (If you like what you are reading in these daily devotionals, and if you would like more content from Oak Hill Baptist Church, join us on Sundays at 10:00, in-person if you are nearby or, if you are geographically distant or if you just can’t make it, online at www.YouTube.com/@oakhillbaptistcrossville |
