I want to focus on Him, I want to desire Him, and yet I am so easily distracted. I often settle for entertainment over edification and food over fulfillment. My spirit longs for edification and fulfillment while my flesh seems to be only interested in the quickest way to satisfaction. Only these things don't satisfy. It's like giving a thirsty man salt water. His throat may no longer be dry, but his thirst not quenched. The salt causes his thirst to be even greater than before.
I know that nothing satisfies like Christ, not just because His word says so, but because I've experienced the truth of these words first hand.

John 4:10, 13-14
10Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." 13Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty forever. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."
