After a prolonged season of prayer and fasting, as Citizens shared for 21 days in January, we may turn easily back to life as usual, meaning to old appetites as usual. However, prolonged fasting produces in us new wine not fit for old wine skins. For this reason, we would do well to invite the Holy Spirit to examine our appetites, even frequently, for anything less than nourishing and less than righteous. Will we allow Jesus to root out of us the gross natural inclinations that defile us? Or will we be content hungering for worldly pleasures and applauses that distract us from His eternal Kingdom?
