We take gifts from God that are meant to be used or enjoyed in proper moderation and our desire for more takes over. We all wrestle with desires. Maybe that desire comes from ignoring loss or pain, so we self-medicate with food, drinking, or pills. Or we throw ourselves into our work at the expense of everything else. That desire for more drives us to keep seeking pleasure to provide us with something only God can provide us with, which is real and lasting peace. Take hope today. God loves you and He is available. Direct your cravings to God and find satisfaction in Him. It’s time to realize that God is our portion. What the Bible says is more important than what the scale says or what other people say, or even what we tell ourselves. He loves us in Jesus, forgives us, and His power is available.
