No, I’m not talking about sexual desire. Scroll on down through the definitions and you’ll find much more familiar implications, maybe even ones that may seem more acceptable….like a longing, a craving, an intense desire or need or an uncontrolled, strong desire. Still not with me? Think endless video games, scrolling, snacking, gambling, drinking, comfort, control, gossip, hoarding, busy-ness and much, much more!
These idols bump God out of 1st place in our hearts. May we never take our own lustful thoughts and behaviors lightly. Let’s hit a reset button. Drive out the lusting through prayer and repentance. Return our attention and affection to our Holy God and Father.
“As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for You, O God.: Psalm 42:1. “My soul yearns for You in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for You.” Isaiah 26:9
