Anger and discontentment and restlessness has been from the very beginning of humanity, back all the way in Genesis,

when man chose to be in the city of man instead of being in the city of God.

From that time on, humanity has been either running away from something or running to look for something,

every survey that I saw, and I look, I stay on top of things, less than 5% of the population

truly can say they are contented and satisfied in life. In fact, I thought this illustrated

in the story I read about a tombstone in Sussex, England. It was two tombstones between a husband

and a wife. And the tombstone on the wife's gravesite said, she died for want of things. Right next to her, the husband's

tombstone read, he died trying to give them to her. Go figure. Back in the 80s, some of you

remember the 80s, when people constantly moving upward mobility and trying to get bigger and better

homes and bigger and better homes. Remember that? I remember everything was going to just keep

booming like that. And I read the story about a man who was reading the newspaper classified one

morning. And he had already moved three or four times in the past seven years, bigger and better home.

So I kept reading this.

In the classified, there is an ad about a house that he really thought this would be at the house.

If he moves into it, he'll be very happy.

This is a house he really wants.

So he calls his realtor.

And he said to him, he said, in the classified, I just read about this house, and I really wanted, can you arrange for me to go inspect it?

And the agent said, well, can you tell me some more about this? And give me more detail. So he was reading all the detailed description about that house. And the agent was quiet for a minute and he said to him,

but sir, this is the house that we're trying to sell for you. Restlessness, discontentment is going

to be on the increase as we come toward the end of time. Him right, please.

If there is one thing that distinguishes between those who belong to the city of God and those who belong to the city of man, it is that whole issue of anxiety and restlessness
