Day 5: A Hungry Soul

Overeating has become a huge American epidemic. The root of most overeating issues derive from emotional eating, and I believe at the core of that, is more than a hungry stomach, but a hungry soul. 

A hungry soul is far more dangerous than a hungry stomach. To a hungry soul, anything appears to be good.  Sin takes a luring disguise. Slowly but surely, the hungry soul becomes tainted with spots of sin and victory is lost. 

There is only one thing that will truly satisfy the soul--and that is God's word. Victory goes to the soul that is satisfied by Him alone! 

"A satisfied soul hates the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul, every bitter is sweet." -Proverbs 27:7. 

When you use God's strength, word, and comfort to satisfy you, the craving for even "good" things is diminished. I'd much rather invest in a lifetime of soul satisfaction than a meal that provides 4 hour satisfaction!
