Don't Spoil Your Appetite

Woman: No snacks or you’ll spoil your appetite.

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Do you ever find that you don’t have much of an appetite for the Word of God?

Woman: I’ll read it tomorrow.

Nancy: Could it be that you’re on a sugar rush from all the world has to offer?

Sometimes we’re like the children of Israel, bored with manna from heaven while thinking about the savory diet they ate as slaves. While giving His people food, God was weaning them off the cheap thrills of Egypt so He could show them the true joy of being fed by His hand.

If you want to increase your appetite for the Word of God, try weaning yourself from the world’s diet. Ask yourself if you really need to binge-watch that series . . . again! or spend another hour playing that video game. You might have some withdrawal symptoms, but in time you’ll find out that the Word of God satisfies in a far deeper and more lasting way.

With Seeking Him, I'm Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
