"A practical disbelief of God's all-sufficiency is at the bottom of all our departures from him."
Matthew Henry, in his commentary on 1 Kings 12
Why do we walk away? Why do we chase after anything else? We believe He is not enough. One who has found what he is looking for does not keep looking. If Jesus really didn't satisfy, if there really was something better out there, shopping around would make sense. But He is the one thing that satisfies. I've found it to be true in my life, even after shopping around more than a little. He is the answer, He is the desire, He is the satisfaction, the goal, the purpose of it all.
He is not a crutch to be clung to until we are able to walk. He is what makes us fly.
