Are You Settling?

Proverbs 27:7  "He who is full loathes honey, but to the hungry even what is bitter tastes sweet."

                                

    Have you ever wondered why people settle for less than they deserve? Have you ever looked at someone and thought, "They could do so much better"? People are not made to be complete on their own, they need more. We are all designed to worship something - some choose money, their careers, their bodies, other people, etc. We were not created to worship any of these things and when we do we are left spiritually hungry.

    When we fail to acknowledge our design and recognize our Creator we are without purpose and meaning. After spending a few minutes watching the news or scanning the evening television line up, one can not deny society is becoming morally bankrupt. It is a fact that our society, America's, has shifted away from Christian values and with this shift our level of "tolerance" has increased. As we become more tolerant the lines of right and wrong are blurred and we are left with a grey world.

    Our world is hungry and starving but we are choosing to feast on the bitter fruits of the world instead of partaking in the food that will nourish our souls.
