Understanding Our Misdirected Cravings

by Lysa TerKeurst | August 28, 2018

In her Bible study Finding I Am, author and President of Proverbs 31 Ministries, Lysa TerKeurst, shares about how God made us to crave and how we, in our sin, misdirect those cravings.

 

Check out Finding I Am by Lysa TerKeurst.

 


“God made us to crave so that we would always desire more of Him, but we misdirect those cravings to lesser things.”

“Food can reach our stomachs, but never our souls.”

“Money can be deposited in a bank, but it can never deposit joy in our deep places.”

“We can please people all day long, and that can give us a momentary high, but never an eternal peace.”

“Success can temporarily elevate our status but can never permanently alleviate our sadness.”
