The lovely chore of cleaning out the fridge is so enticing isn't it? Consider that for a second while you get your nose ready for potential punishment. Sniffing out the month old casserole that made it to the back of the bottom shelf. Or the future Science project that you have created out of left overs from a restaurant that doesn't exist anymore. Then there is the expiration date priority sniff test. My personal favorite is the "does this still taste good" test? Another funny one is the grape juice that you can't drive after drinking, because it expired after your wedding a decade earlier.
All joking aside, we all have cravings for things that will always leave us desiring more. Food sure, but what about acclaim...you get it, then what? Power......then a downsize. Authority.....someone proves you wrong. Comfort.....then disease. Happiness......the inevitable bad day. Consider all the things that you hunger and thirst for, the things that we passionately pursue but will disappoint. They only leave you craving more. The newer model, the upgrade, the younger woman, the more handsome man. Then what? Empty with no apology. All will expire!
Except that is righteousness. The lifetime supply, with no expiration date, no moldy experiment and no disappointment. Why? Because the supplier of this righteousness is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is eternal. He never sleeps nor slumbers. He meets the need with no room left for more. Consider how limitless the list of your sin is and just know that the fountain of God's righteousness makes your limitless sin look like but a sip.
So crave Him and be satisfied.
Psalm 42:1-2
