What is your appetite? What are you hungry for? What do you desire?What do you crave?
As humans, we all have something or things that we desire. Something that we want with all our hearts.
Do you desire God? Or do you crave the things of the world? (sex, pornography, women, men, success, wealth etc.).
All hunger produces movement....a drive. Meaning, whatever you are hungry for, you will pursue and fill yourself with.
So what are you hungry for? Is it something that is sinful? Something that is not of God?
Genesis 25: 29-31
Esau Sells His Birthright
29 Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” Therefore his name was called Edom.[c]
31 But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”
Esau's appetite was for food (nothing is wrong with food but) and it caused him to give up his birthright - his blessing, his favour.
Is what you are hungry for going to cause you to give up ( sell ) the blessings God has for you.......his purposes for your life.......your relationship with him?
...........be careful of what you are hungry for!
