"Many people spend their lives chasing after cravings."

Mike and I had an interesting conversation recently about hunger vs. craving. We were studying Numbers 11:4-35 in which the children of Israel had a intense craving for specific foods they ate back in their slavery days.

The end result? The “graves of craving.” You’ll learn more about that later.

In our study, we looked up the word craving: “A strong wanting of what promises enjoyment or pleasure.” The word “promise” stuck out at me.

Whenever you have a craving, take a moment to pause and peek behind the curtain. What promise are you expecting that food to fulfill?

If you are not hungry, then that promise is attracting you. That is why our imagination about how good something is going to taste is often better than the reality.

Through yielding to the craving, we feed upon that promise!

The following is a Bible study I wrote about Numbers 11:4-35. If you are struggling with food cravings, then this is a must read.
