Proverbs - Our Eyes are NEVER Satisfied

Proverbs 27:20

Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.


This is a great truth to know.  Our eyes are never satisfied.  If we go to any store at any time we will SEE something we like.  God made us this way.  We appreciate beauty and we tend to admire the new.  That is okay if we understand this about ourselves.  This will actually protect us from buying things that the Lord has not given us.  Before you go shopping or look in a magazine or catalogue it would be wise to state this truth before the Lord.  Perhaps you could thank the Lord that your eyes are never satisfied so may your eyes enjoy things without having to own them.  If we understand this about ourselves we won’t be so deceived into thinking an admiring eye must lead to a possession.  It is nice to look and enjoy fabrics, colors, designs and beauty.   We must never praise the gods of gold, silver and apparel.  We can enjoy and then know that our eyes are never satisfied.  They will always see something they like.  We must know that life does not consist of an abundance of possessions and godliness with contentment is great gain.
