 HUNGRY FOR TRUTH

Today's reading: Proverbs 14-15

"A wise person is hungry for truth, while the fool feeds on trash." Proverbs 15:14 NLT

The American diet consists of a whole lot of junk. Fast food, convenience meals, sugary sweets, processed foods and caffienated drinks.

Studies are showing us that that type of eating leads to disease and premature death. The doctors and nutritionists urge us to eat naturally, eat the colors of the rainbow and to eat foods that are as close to their original state as possible.

In order to actually desire foods like that, we have to not be filled up on the sugary, carb-laden things.

Just like God's desire for us to hunger for His Word.

Too many of us are full to the gills of worldly things.

Exhausted by busyness.

Satiated by convenience and comfort.

But hungry for the Truth? Aching to hear from God? Wanting more than anything to know what God says?

Today I'm going to watch my 'diet'. I'm going to make a conscious effort to turn to God first, before filling up on what the world says, what everyone else is doing OR what I think I have the right to do.

Want to join me in this healthy eating plan?
