Substitutes just don’t satisfy like the real thing. You can get substitutes in every area of your life. For instance, when it comes to food you can go out and get all kinds of substitute foods... imitation crabmeat, sugar substitutes, bacon bits. Bacon bits aren't bacon, if you read the label it reads more like a chemistry experiment. Bacon bits - bad; real bacon - good.
Substitutes are not the real thing. You can eat that stuff all day long if you want but it doesn’t match up to the real thing. People will try to find substitutes in their life and put them in the place of God. Money is a substitute many people put in the place of God. Money is a wonderful tool, but it’s a horrible god to worship. Some will substitute a person in the place where only God should be. Others will try to fill the void in their lives with addictive things like drugs or excessive alcohol. In the end all of these are an unnatural, or artificial, replacement for the real thing... God.
Substitutes that we put in our lives that take the place of God just don’t satisfy us or Him.
Isaiah 45:22, ""Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other."
