John Piper on Desires

Desires for other things - there's the enemy. And the only weapon that will triumph is a deeper hunger for God. The weakness of our hunger for God is not because he is unsavoury, but because we keep ourselves stuffed with 'other things'. Perhaps, then, the denial of our stomach's appetite for food might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite for God.
