Thought from Sunday School this morning:
Just as we would not physically grow healthily by only refusing any junk food or desserts, so we cannot spiritually grow by simply ceasing our sin habits. To do so would simply be a form of conformity; we must also "hunger and thirst after righteousness." What a burden I have that my children will learn of this hunger and thirst. I believe many in this world can raise children who refuse the junk food of this world--who know the right answer (who obey, polite, kind to others, etc); however, it will take the supernatural hungering and thirsting after righteousness (God's Word) for them to grow spiritually.
Lord, give my children a hunger for Your Word; use me in any way to increase their thirst. Allow the "fast food" of the world to become less appealing as their spiritual tastes mature. May they find Your Word so rich in flavor they find no enjoyment in sin.
