“What Looks So Good Can Leave Us So Empty” | Megan Erickson

We chase what we believe will finally make us feel whole—success, comfort, recognition, security—only to find that the satisfaction fades faster than we expected. Revelation gives this longing a name: Babylon. Babylon represents a world built on wealth, pleasure, and status. None of these things are evil on their own. But when they become more than they were intended to be, they begin to pull us away from God. Deep down, we long for something eternal—for a Person, not a possession. Remember that you were created for Jesus, and nothing short of Him will ever truly satisfy.
