Craving

садржај   It can cause us to let down our guard & wander away from sound thinking into an experiential type of lifestyle.  Experiencing things is good and not wrong by any means, but what I'm talking about is what will entrap us.  Our conscience is our guide.  If we give into one questionable way of life, then the rest are now acceptable all because we did not heed the warnings in the Bible.

Psalms 106:14  In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test.

It goes on to tell us that they made a golden calf for worship, fell to disease, were rebellious, and finally swallowed up by the earth!  Uncontrolled cravings lead to lust, the perfect setting for an addiction or compulsive behaviour.  It all starts with complaining, envy, lust, greed, and a false sense of entitlement.

We have to remember that we are where we are because God lead us there to grow us, or we forced God's hand and he gave us the desires of our heart!  Either way we are meant to be content where we are.  Read the warnings, take everything to God, and wait for His timing.

Why not start some new good clean habits today?
