Proverbs 27:20 (NLT) Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied.
What do you desire? Secretly.
Whether your secret desire for satisfaction is expressed in the pursuit of money, power, influence, sex, sports, food or rampant hedonism (just feel’n good, man), one outcome is certain: you will never be satisfied.
Let’s make it simpler: self-satisfaction is an oxymoron. Only when our desire is to satisfy what justice demands; only when we put the needs of others first; only when we are driven to pursue God’s Righteousness; only then, will we be satisfied.
For business leaders, servant-leadership provides a significant reward: true satisfaction results from looking for and meeting the needs of those in your organization. Not every need. Needs specific to the development of the person as a contributing member of the team and society. Removing obstacles so they can contribute more to the organization. Modeling behavior so they, too, serve the needs of those with whom they work.
For the Believer. who leads with serving in mind, Jesus points the way to real satisfaction.: Matt 5:6 (KJV) Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness: for they shall be satisfied.
Are you satisfied?
