Pregnant women are not the only ones that crave specific foods. We often may not know exactly what we're craving, but until we figure it out, we munch on whatever we can get our hands on to satisfy that craving.
Yesterday, I was hungry all day. Nothing I ate seemed to fill that empty spot in my stomach that was craving something specific. Finally, late in the evening, I remembered the nectarine salsa my mom had made for me. It was the right blend of sweet and spicy and with corn chips, I had an added salty and crunchy element. It was perfect! I even dumped the crumbs of the bag into a bowl and ate the last of it with a spoon.
After indulging in the chips and nectarine salsa, I was finally satisfied. I was no longer hungry and I was no longer searching for what would satisfy that hunger.
How many times do we search for the wrong things to satisfy our spiritual hunger, knowing all along that God is the only thing that can satisfy.
"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Matthew 5:6
