I don't know if you're like this. Maybe it was just me, but I used to think that the Christian life, quote unquote, like, like life as a Jesus follower

was kind of like going from service station to service station and getting fueled up or something.

Or eating and then you're full for a while and then you get to eat something.

Yeah.

I suppose there's something to that, but that's not the best way to picture the Christian life has this lived out.

It's more, I realize now it's more like a fire.

Like, it's not just getting something and then moving away from it.

And, well, now, I have more of a hunger for God that grows.

Yeah.

The more I get to know him, like, the hungrier I am.

I hope that makes sense. It's kind of the opposite of,

like, getting some food and then feeling full. I got enough. Yeah. The Psalmist said it's like

taste and see. Yeah. That the Lord is good, so you want more because you've tasted it. You get

hungrier. Yeah. Very different. And if you're not hungry at all, like, that's a good reason to

like, okay, I need to good reason. It's like,

okay, I need to get hungry. It's hard to resist temptation. We have it in many forms all the time.

And this may sound dumb and simplistic. I promise you, it's neither dumb nor simplistic,

but Dallas Willard said something about how to avoid or how to handle temptation.

And Lily said, he said, be so at peace and satisfied with God that when wrongdoing presents

itself, it isn't even interesting.
