Do you think we have enough–stuff? How’s our consumer culture doing for us?

Home Depot stocks approximately 35,000 items.

McDonald’s menu offers 145 items.

I’m told that the Cheesecake Factory has 250 dishes made fresh every day.

Barry Schwartz found that a medium sized supermarket has 85 brands of crackers, 150 lipsticks, 230 soup options, 275 cereal options, 285 varieties of cookies, and a whopping 360 types of shampoo, conditioner, hair gel, and mousse.

How about trying something really satisfying??!! “Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!” (Psalm 34:8) Ah, yes, meditating on all the scrumptious, character of God. Now, that could satisfy the hungry soul. The longing soul. The lonely soul. The sated soul. The lost soul. The despairing soul. ….Longsuffering. Forgiving. Loving. Patient. Righteous. True. Just. Unchanging. Very present, very near. Sacrificial. Saving. Comforting. Providing. Father. Jesus. Holy Spirit. ….and on, and on the delightful meditation leads us ever deeper into the true joy of the soul set free.
