Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives--whether it be
the cravings of our stomachs, the passionate desire for possessions
or power, or the longings of our spirits for God. But for the
Christian, the hunger for anything besides God can be an archenemy,
while our hunger for God--and him alone--is the only thing that
will bring victory.
Do you have that hunger for Him? As John Piper puts it: "If we
don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of
God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It
is because we have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Our
soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the
great." If we are full of what the world offers, then perhaps a
fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for
God.
Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is this
path of pleasant pain called fasting. It is the path John Piper
invites you to travel in this book. For when God is the supreme
hunger of your heart, He will be supreme in everything. And when
you are most satisfied in Him, He will be most glorified in
you.
