At its simplest, gluttony is the soul’s addiction to excess.
The more we drink deeply of the endless love of an infinite God, the
more our tastes will be changed. The deep bright marrow of grace will
drip down into the restless souls of the ever-hungry.
Psalm 34:8 challenges us to see the difference for ourselves: “Taste and
see that the Lord is good.” I think Paul understood this verse when he
told the people at Lystra that God gives food and gladness so that our
hearts would turn from vain things and turn to the ultimate satisfaction
of who God is (Acts 14:15-17).
Feasting on God is as foreign to most Americans as an empty stomach.
