"HUNGER" -- January 14, 2008

Can you teach your stomach what to hunger for? Hmm... I guess the stomach itself doesn't really care what you stuff in it, as long as it's edible and not poisonous. As long as there's something to grind, it will be contented.

I think, the one that really cares for the things you stuff in your stomach are your tastebuds. It depends on the "mood" of your tastebuds if you're gonna eat something sweet, or salty, spicy, or sour, fried, or soupy... And if you're planing to control your diet, it is your desire to eat that you should discipline. It is your spoiled tastebuds that you should overcome. Do I make sense?

Anyway... Can I teach my soul what things to hunger for? Human beings have inate human desires, which, as we know by some of us, are mostly corrupt.

I pray that God would birth in me the hunger to know Him more. The hunger to understand His word. The hunger to know His perfect will. The hunger to know my specific calling and fulfill my duties and responsibilities for the King and His kingdom with delight... with all my delight no matter what circumstance I'm in.

May God teach my soul to suppress hunger for unhealthy, dirty, and poisonous stuff that seem delicious in the natural eye, but fatal in the spirit.

Lord, give me right desires... Desires that are in Your heart as well. Put it in my heart so our desires will be one. That I may fulfill everything you want me to fulfill with all my delight.
