In the effort to lose weight, diet and weight loss experts often tell people to ask themselves if they are really hungry or not.
And what is meant by that question is whether or not the individual is experiencing true physical hunger and in need of physical food.or is there something else that one hungers for.
It is admirable to have goals and dreams you aspire to achieve. But where does your hunger come from? Is it an internal hunger that comes from the will of God? Is it birthed from the gifts and talents instilled in you by the Creator? Is it the hunger from within that drives you to want to live your highest life and live a life pleasing to God?
Or do you find that you have a source of hunger that is outside of you, influenced by the world and what it wants you to want? Think about the source of your hunger and consider where it is leading you.
Jesus said, "What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?" Something to think about...

Exercise for Body and Soul
The bible says in 1 Timothy 4:8, "For bodily exercise profits little, but godliness is profitable unto all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."
I believe God meant for us to take care of both body and soul. In that verse, God is letting us kmow that we must not solely focus on the physical, but also be careful to take care of the spiritual. We need to train toward godliness. We must make an effort to develop our spiritual physique, perfecting it, strengthening it as well and even more so than our physical bodies. Without spiritual fitness, how will one stand against the enemy, Satan?
And even God wants us to take care of our physical bodies because they are the temple of the Holy Spirit for those who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
So whatever your form of physical fitness; keep it going, but consider exercise for the soul! Confess your sins, and make Jesus Christ your personal Savior, reconnect to God thru prayer, reading and meditating on the Scriptures, or deciding to attend a church service next Sunday. Exercise is good for both body and soul!
Blessings!
