QUICKENED SCRIPTURE: APPETITES AFFECT OUR HEARING

Matt 14:20-21 NKJV

So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

I read a few years ago that our level of thirst depends on how much we drink.  We can actually have a very low level of thirst and it is because we do not drink very much.  It is also true that the less we eat, our appetite accommodates and becomes less hungry. 

Throughout the years of my habits with the Lord, I seem to eat until I am full.  And then when I am hungry I start seeking and searching Him for more food.  The more I seek Him, the more my appetite for spiritual things grows and the closer I become to Him in the process.

Matt 7:7-8

"Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.  8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 

If you notice that the above verse is completely depended upon OUR ACTIONS:  Ask, seek, knock.  When I think of a baby who is being held, if she is not hungry, she is content to lay in the arms.  But if she is hungry she will turn her head and start "rooting" or searching for mother's milk.
