Many of us live in countries where food is abundant and people are well-fed. That's why we may not be familiar with the symptoms of starvation. At the outset, victims have an insatiable craving for nourishment. As time passes, however, the body weakens, the mind is dulled, and the desire for something to eat wanes. In fact, starving people actually reach a point when they don't even want food that is placed before them.
Spiritual starvation follows much the same course.
But if we continue to neglect it, we may lose all desire to study the Scriptures. In fact, we may be starving ourselves. As Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea.
