I believe that Chinese food is one of the best inventions of
man. No other type of food allows you to say things like moo goo gai pan or
kung pow; they even have a dish named after a general. And who doesn’t like the
thought of dipping an egg roll in duck sauce? To top things off, at the end of
the meal your fortune is delivered via cookie.
The only problem with Chinese food, as the classic
stereotype goes, is that, even though you eat until you feel like you are about
to pop, you will be hungry again as soon as you get home. I just had a big
portion of the General Tso, but typing these types of chicken is making me
hungry already.
Every time you feel hungry it is a reminder that your body
is doing its job; digestion has occurred. In other words, hunger is a good
thing. Some people lose their appetite for days or weeks at a time, and that is
an indicator that something is wrong.
I worry about people who have no heavenly hunger. Jesus told
His disciples that those who “hunger and thirst after righteousness” would be
blessed. Righteous living should be the Chinese food on the Christian menu:
consume it until you are stuffed, and an hour later, consume some more.
Christian, have you lost your appetite for the things of
God? If so, perhaps you need to see a Physician.
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for
they shall be filled.”
Matthew 5:6
