The Advantage of Hunger
Each of us needs to learn to be responsible and accountable for what we gain. If we never have a need we will not develop a sense of accountability for ourselves or for others.
Proverbs 16
26 The laborer's appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on.
Many parents have made the mistake of making life too easy for their children. A good parent will let their child’s desires to drive them to achieve. It is something like gardening. When a plant is deprived of water for awhile it begins to develop roots as it reaches out for moisture in the surrounding soil. Too much watering will kill a plant or make it less healthy.
Each of us needs to learn to be responsible and accountable for what we gain. If we never have a need we will not develop a sense of accountability for ourselves or for others. This is the way the Lord works with us and it is the way we need to disciple those in our charge. When the basic hungers of life remain unrequited people will eventually get up on their two feet and find solutions for themselves. Thus unrequited appetite will lead the fledgling soul to learn how to survive and to thrive.
