Day 10: Made to Crave something in life

"We were made to crave- long for, want greatly, desire eagerly, and beg for - God. Only God." Made to Crave by Lisa Terkeurst

If you can not tell I love the book above. It has things that I have felt for years on paper and points me always back to Christ.

When I think of craving something I think of doing anything possible to get the thing that I desire and want. It reminds me of Black Friday that everyone waits outside a store the night before to get that one thing that they want, have a desire for or crave. They do this, one because they have the desire to do this and two because they get the product they crave cheaper! Then when the doors open to the store everyone starts pushing and running to the one thing they want or desire. Then you get to the aisle and see all the other 15 people who want the same thing but then there are only a limited stock of 13 on the shelf. Then it might get as crazy as people fighting over the thing they desire. People desire the thing they go after and fight for it because its at a good price and you waited all that time and energy! You are craving that product! You want that thing! You want that price! You might be one of those people! You might have the desire to do that and that's totally ok!

We were made to crave things and mine has been food for years!! Always been over weight through Jr. high and high school. I am called for a bigger craving that is everlasting and that's God. Taste and see that it is good! "how lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD Almighty! My soul yearns, event faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God" (psalm 84:1-2).

I want and need my cravings to be on the Lord. This is something I need to change in my mind. When I want those yummy Oreos and milk that stick to my booty...I pray that I crave the living God as much as food.
