Our bodies were created in such a way by God, that we have a natural response to satisfying our hunger and thirst needs. We can become unhealthy physically when we attempt to satisfy them with unhealthy food or drinks. 

But God has also created us with a desire for Him. He tells us that He has placed eternity within each one of us and that the eternal void can only be satisfied by His abiding presence.

He tells us that we can find satisfaction if we hunger and thirst for righteousness. But like our attempts to satisfy our physical hunger and thirst with those things that are unhealthy, we many times try to satisfy our spiritual hunger and thirst with self-righteousness. 

An unhealthy spiritual life will lead us to that place of casual Christianity and lukewarmness. Unhealthy eating habits lead to obesity, diabetes, heart issues, and so many other debilitating health issues.

Self-righteousness leads to compromise, complacency, a hardened heart, and a falling away from the grace that was provided for us on the cross. 

How are you satisfying your hunger and thirst?
