1301) A song on my playlist currently is What You Think I Am by The Choir. It’s there because of the powerful energy of the music but also because of the line, “I’m a whole lot better and a whole lot worse, than what you think I am.”

As the song reveals, people are complex. Just our physical bodies alone are so intricately made but so are the other aspects of who we are. Our mental, spiritual and emotional makeup is complicated which brings me to the fact that many strive to make up for inadequacies in any or all of these areas. The more needy we may feel we are, the more we have to up the means we used to fill the hole within us.

Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 3:1-4 that in the last days, people are going to be boastful; needing to flaunt themselves to help balance out the inadequacies they feel within. When you are trying to meet a need this powerful in the wrong manner, it can cause waves of chaos, frustration and reactions that coat society and change the way people exist. As each day passes, the need to fill the hole grows and these waves crash into each other, causing much damage.

It is logical that the more people feel inadequate, the more desperate they become. Only Jesus can fill this hole and in the last days, fewer people will look toward him.

Are you looking toward Jesus?
