The sluggard craves and gets nothing, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.Proverbs 13:4 (NIV)

Like a wolf tracking the scent of its prey, she is on a mission to find what she craves. She envisions it, milky, rich, creamy, smooth, sweet and just so irresistible. She viciously snarls at everyone or anything that gets in her way, and her hunt is unstoppable until she gets what she wants. When she finds it, she violently tears open the wrapper, bites into its luscious, brown form and her taste buds scream "Hallelujah!" With each bite, she becomes more energized, nicer, smarter and more patient. Her craving is satisfied. She is finally able to conquer her day, and it was all because of chocolate.

Sometimes, we as Christians can get so lazy or lackadaisical in our walk with the Lord, that to the natural eye a person could not tell whether we are saved or unsaved, and if this is the case, we must get our craving back. When we crave something, it takes diligence and persistence to obtain the thing in which we are craving. Therefore, whatever the subject matter is in the Lord that we crave, whether it is letting go of fears, having a better prayer life, understanding the Lord's word on a deeper level and so forth, we should go after it as intensely as that of a wolf hunting its prey until God fulfills our craving for that particular issue. Furthermore, when the matter is taken care of, we must earnestly desire more, because we can always be better in the Lord. By doing this, we push ourselves into a state-of mind where we yearn for God, a state where we are completely requiring and vigorously expecting something from Him.
