The small group I am a part of this semester is pretty crazy. It's challenging me to live more like Christ and less like the average American Christian.
Each month we look at different areas of our lives that need to be simplified. This month we are looking at how food can distract us from the Lord. On the surface, this sounds kind of silly. We need food, right? But I can think of so many times in the past week that I have felt a ridiculous craving for food (and coffee) when I really wasn't that hungry. I don't even think I've ever been realllllly hungry.
I'm learning through all of the professors and friends the Lord has put in my path this semester that it is much more satisfying to hunger and thirst for the Lord, because only He can truly fill me.
One final thought comes from a song we sang this week in chapel. This line never ceases to humble me and fill me with joy:
"Our sins were deeper than the sea; Your grace was deeper still."
