Crave

The last few days, I have been "go go go!" and have not eaten the quantity of food I have been consuming recently.  Also, I have been eating nutritious foods - especially my fruits and veggies.  It is amazing how you can change your "cravings" or appetite by what you eat.  As I have been consuming these healthier foods, I haven't had much desire to eat fatty or sugary foods.  Ever since coming to Lafayette, I have gained some weight and have not eaten as healthy as I usually do (because I've always eaten healthy...;)  

As I thought about eating and how you can change your cravings by what you eat, it made me think about my time reading the Bible.  The more time I have spent reading God's Word, the more I tend to "crave" and desire to read it and learn more about it.  You can see it both ways I think. 

"Oh taste and see that the Lord is good!  Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!...The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing."

Psalm 34

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."

Matthew 5:6
