Got Some Weird Cravings?
JUNE 20
“And there was a great famine in Samaria; and indeed they besieged it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and one-fourth of a kab of dove droppings for five shekels of silver.” 2 Kings 6:25
A depraved diet marked this tragic season of famine in Israel. A depraved diet is the mark in our day. The only difference is that ours is a spiritual famine.
Today we're feeding on all sorts of depravity and filth. Do you know why pornography is read by so many? Why night clubs are filled? Why there’s an opioid epidemic? Because there's a famine for the Word of God. Anytime a person isn’t properly fed, they'll resort to feasting on a donkey's head.
How do you change your diet, your cravings? Not by saying, “I'm going to be a good boy.” Rather, by loading up on the Word of God--diving in, meditating upon it, filling your spirit from His bounty, so you’ll not be hungry for that which corrupts yet doesn’t satisfy.
