Cravings may be a sign that your are deficient in certain nutrients… The debate lingers on, but there is some evidence to seem very very possible. You may be low in iron and crave read meat or spinach… I don’t know that I would ever be so low on iron that I would crave cooked spinach… raw, all day, cooked… Id’ rather eat vomit. 

But hunger pains and cravings tell us something… about us. what is the most hungry you have ever been or the most thirsty? I remember one time walking from my friends house to a 7-11 store in  102 degree heat… yea, not a good idea… I was so thirsty that I broke into a pole barn… no water, nothing but a small can of sprite with only about 2 swallows worth of sprite in it… I didn’t care it was warm, old, someone eless spit in it on it… I was soooo thirsty I did not care… what did that say about my level of thirst?

You know we are hungry and thirsty for spiritual things… but we may not fill it with the right things…

Let me read you a quote out of John G Lakes writings…

 

Matthew 5:6. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (Mt. 5:6). Blessed is another word for happy.

 

Hunger and thirst is a good thing… if its for righteousness. Cravings are good if they are for good healthy foods. You are blessed if you are hungry for more of God. Hunger can push you farther than any other desire except air… that trumps food and water… but not by much.

Have you ever been so hungry for God that you break into a pole barn and read a bible that does not belong to you…ok, bad example. but how hungry for God are you? 

I think sometimes we bypass Gods best by praying for his best without the hunger for it. What do i mean? We pray for more power, more financial blessing, more wisdom  a better marriage etc… none of this is wrong but it doesn’t come out of a hunger for righteousness but rather a hunger for an easier life. But if you hunger for more of God, those things may or may not come… but it won’t matter, all that matter is that you have more of God. 

Right now you are going through pains, troubles, problems, relationship issues… and you are not seeing these as hunger pains. God thank you for the problems…. Look no food is a problem… but the hunger pains drive you to get a job, make money buy food… Pain and problems are bad, but they drive you to seek God for of him… than it’s good.
