Psalm 106

Verse 14 speaks to a "craving" that caused the people to test God, their capacity for "craving" that God had given them to hunger and thirst for him had become a means for an appetite of self-indulgence.

We must remember that God has gifted us with many capacities that Satan in turn uses and perverts to lead us astray.

Interesting observation, in Colossians 3:1, where Paul writes that should "seek things above" the word for seek in the Greek is zeteo (zay-teh'-o). Got any guesses about its meaning...it means to seek something with the a strong intention to find it, to crave, to desire.

How are you doing with your capacities? Has our capacity for enjoyment for food become gluttony, capacity for pleasure within the confines of marriage become lust, capacity for stewardship of material wealth become greed, capacity for worship of God become idolatry of things...how are you doing with your capacities? Ask the Holy Spirit to bring revelation where there needs to be deliverance!
