What Do I Really Crave?

It’s that time of the year……..bathing suits and shorts. This is when I get serious about losing a few pounds that showed up over the winter months.

January is when most people start getting into shape but I’m never ready then. It’s still too cold and dreary and I’m a procrastinator by nature.

So now I’m getting serious!

Vacation is just around the corner and I don’t want to have to lay out in my cover up. Why is it when I’m dieting all I can think about is food? Everything looks delicious!

And I crave this…..

As I was thinking about all the physical food I crave I wondered about my spiritual food?

Am I waking up hungering for God’s word? Do I crave it like I crave physical food?

If I’m honest, I would have to say not always. I’m so easily distracted with life I sometimes forget that I’m desperate for His word. Without it I’m a mess!

So today when my stomach growls for physical food, I’m going to fill it with spiritual food…….

Then Jesus declared, “ I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.”

Do you crave spiritual food? Do you, like me, realize you can’t live without it?

Have a blessed day!

  1. That is an awesome thing to keep in mind. I think about that (on the rare occasion) that I fast but do not keep that in mind on a daily basis. I will have to think about that this week as I try to watch what I’m eating a little more as well. 🙂
