Appetite - a desire to satisfy a particular need or craving.
Are you being properly fed? Every individual is unique. However, one thing we all share in common is the fact that we each possess a craving of some sort. Some very common cravings include $ex, drugs, alcohol, food, and of course the "all mighty dollar". The appetite is capable of sending us through all sorts of extremes on a quest to fulfill our cravings. A certain level of discipline must exist in order to curb our appetites and ensure that they do not become detrimental.
One personal craving of mine that has been left unfulfilled lately is my spiritual appetite. I’m sure this doesn't apply to any of you but… would you believe there are actually some folk out there who attend church on a regular basis yet they walk away each week lacking any form of true spiritual growth? How much longer will we sit in the sanctuary simply enjoying the 'show' before we realize that we are not being properly fed? I don't know about you but I learned as a youngster that no matter how much kool-aid I drank, it just didn't seem to fulfill my hunger. We need to stop eating in vain. Today, I suggest that you be mindful of nourishing your spiritual appetite. The whole purpose of eating is to nourish and fulfill. Let's stop eating simply to exercise our jaw bones. If that statement just went over your head, call me. Chances are we probably need to discuss a few things anyway. :-) Be blessed.
