Hungry? Chew on this.

If we are hungry and we deny ourselves the nutrition needed to sustain our bodies, it forces our souls to cry out and ask God to sustain us. The hunger is our bodily function and the denial of this hunger is our soul function. The denial of this hunger is our soul function because it does exactly the opposite of what our bodily organs are telling us to do, which is to depend on something other than mere matter and to depend on what is unseen. The soul functions to unite us with the living God, and when it cannot bring us into His presence it is because we have our bodily functions functioning on a level too high, overpowering the objective of the soul function. Turn down your bodily function or crank up that soul function!
