Never Satisfied (Proverbs 27)
When Proverbs 27 in the Bible says the eyes of people are never satisfied, it is warning us against being hungry for more wealth. But it's not just wealth you'll want more of. You'll want your spouse to be more like your friend's spouse. Of course, you don't know what life is really like on the inside. This could be said about your children, your job, or your clothes. Eyes that are never satisfied are blinded by envy and jealousy. Find joy in what you have and trust God for what you really need.

Never satisfied are the eyes of man.
Ron: Never satisfied are the eyes of man.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: When Proverbs 27 in the Bible says the eyes of people are never satisfied, it is warning us against being hungry for more wealth. We never seem to have enough. But it’s not just wealth you’ll want more of. You’ll want your spouse to be more like your friend’s spouse. Of course, you don’t know what life is really like on the inside, but from the outside, they look much better than yours. This could be said about your children, your job, your clothes—even your neighbor’s yard looks better than yours.
Eyes that are never satisfied are blinded by envy and jealousy. Find joy in what you have trusting that God knows what you really need. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
