I Can’t Find No Satisfaction


I Can’t Find No Satisfaction

IT was the legendary British musical group called “The Beattles” who sang a song with the chorus: I can’t find no Satisfaction,
I have tried, I have tried!
For those of us who were of age in the sixties, we found this song very strange. The reason for our surprise was that since the world began there was no other musical group that took the world by storm. It was Beattlemania in Britain, continental Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, Australia and New Zealand. The Youths of the world wanted to be like the Beattles. They popularized long hair, and good corporate suits on stage. They were admired by all and sundry.
Many upcoming Bands were fashioning their acts after the Beattles’. Some groups “copied” right while others “copied” wrongly the songs of the Beattles. Their songs were topping the charts week after week, for months unend. They won many awards, the ones they did not win were those they were not presented.
They had everything money could buy. They rode the fastest cars, live in glamorous mansions, had lots of friends of the opposite sex. When they sang “I can’t find no satisfaction”, we were taken aback. How could a group that boasted that they were more popular than JESUS CHRIST cry out to the entire world that they could not find satisfaction? Many could not understand their outcry.
However, what the Beattles felt after their triumphant entry into the music world was no surprise to those of us who were familiar with the inspired words of the Richest and the Wisest man in the world, His Royal Highness, Solomon David-Jesse, King of Israel (990 BC -930 BC).Read what Solomon says about worldy Riches, Pleasures and Pride:
“Everything I wanted I took I never said no to myself. I gave in to every impulse, held back nothing. I sucked the marrow of pleasure out of every task - my reward to myself for a hard day's work! 11 Then I took a good look at everything I'd done, looked at all the sweat and hard work. But when I looked, I saw nothing but smoke. Smoke and spitting into the wind. There was nothing to any of it. Nothing.
12 And then I took a hard look at what's smart and what's stupid. What's left to do after you've been king? That's a hard act to follow. You just do what you can, and that's it. 13 But I did see that it's better to be smart than stupid, just as light is better than darkness. 14 Even so, though the smart ones see where they're going and the stupid ones grope in the dark, they're all the same in the end. One fate for all and that's it.
15 When I realized that my fate's the same as the fool's, I had to ask myself, "So why bother being wise?" It's all smoke, nothing but smoke. 16 The smart and the stupid both disappear out of sight. In a day or two they're both forgotten. Yes, both the smart and the stupid die, and that's it.
17 I hate life. As far as I can see, what happens on earth is a bad business. It's smoke and spitting into the wind. 18 And I hated everything I'd accomplished and accumulated on this earth. I can't take it with me no, I have to leave it to whoever comes after me. 19 Whether they're worthy or worthless and who's to tell? - they'll take over the earthly results of my intense thinking and hard work. Smoke.
20 That's when I called it quits, gave up on anything that could be hoped for on this earth. 21 What's the point of working your fingers to the bone if you hand over what you worked for to someone who never lifted a finger for it? Smoke, that's what it is. A bad business from start to finish. 22 So what do you get from a life of hard labor? 23 Pain and grief from dawn to dusk. Never a decent night's rest. Nothing but smoke.” Ecclesiastes 2:10-23
My friend, it is high time you re-evaluated your life and find out the real purpose for which you were created. For a full answer, you have to turn your life over to JESUS. HE will give you a reason for being.
