Don't be a Glutton

My pastor so brilliantly explained how, we as Christians, can become hungry for God's word, will, and way. The only way to get hungry is to not eat. Therefore, if we truly want to be hungry for more of God then we have to stop eating and getting so full from the things this world has to offer. We end up getting so full that we have no desire for anything spiritual. How do we get full? We take in so much of the non spiritual things, which is easy to do in this fast pace, media driven life,  and we leave no room for the spiritual things.

I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything unless it is spiritual. I am saying that we just have to have a good balance and make time for our Creator, Savior, Father, and Friend.  We are all busy and can always find an excuse to not read our bibles or pray. However, if you want the hunger and to be fed by God then you have to make time to eat and be hungry when you do.

Colossians 3 

2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
