ouch

This quote smacked me in the face today....

"If you don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation for the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great" (John Piper, A Hunger for God, p. 23)

Smacked me, too. Thanks for the reminder.

Ouch is right! Wow. I'm going to have to give that one some thought! My first instinct is to be offended at the directness of it but that probably goes along with that nibbling on the table of the world part...
