About a year ago I discovered Podcasts at last. Well, I'd heard of them a long time ago, but never had the time to listen to them. Now I have plenty of time.... to knit and listen to Podcasts! First I signed up for my Pastor's sermons... then some other sermons.... and then The Minimalists... and more.
Rob Bell's Podcast The Robcast from May 21, 2018 titled "But He Shouted All the More"....
Desires, cravings, even addictions.... my will power against the craving..... But what do I REALLY desire? Go further into my desires... Do I really want the donut, or "is there anything I want More?" Yes! I want my body to feel great. I want that more than I want seconds on dinner... focus on that.
"Let your desire for something greater overtake the smaller desire."
"Figure out what you want! Do this work." So many resentments we carry around are because we never figured out what we want rather than what others chose for us. Don't let people "should on you".
Complainers & manipulators - ask them "What do you want me to do for you?" It will draw out the real desire and then you can deal with it.
God, Help me want You more! Help me to find my comfort and pleasure in You rather than in food, depression, complaining. Help me be SATISFIED in You!!
