July 20 Lord of our desiresThis week's study is called 'Lord of our desires.' It talks about how we should submit our will to the will of God, that includes our desires, thoughts and appetites. Now that last thing could be a crucial point for me as I looove unhealthy food. Not that I chose it because it is unhealthy though... Guess I should be ashamed of myself when I say that I actually almost always eat something whenever I feel like it.
Now in the Bible we find in the very first story how Satan, in form of a serpent, used Eve's appetite to seduce her and disobey God. In a similar way he tried to tempt Jesus. Jesus was in the wilderness and had fasted forty days, so like it says in Matthew 4: 1,2 'he was afterward an hungred.' This might even be a bigger temptation than in the Garden of Eden! But, however, Jesus did not make the same mistake.
Even in this time, Satan can try to use our appetite as well as a tool to draw us away from God. How? If we stick to a healthy diet, our bodies and minds can function optimal so that we can serve God best. And besides, we should not allow ourselves to just go after all our desires. We should try to keep them under control.
There is a simple diet that we teach in some sort of 'health message.' It's called God's Plan (or New Start):
