Proverbs 27:7
A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb,
But to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.
There are probably several ways this proverb could be interpreted and still make sense and be helpful. When I read it last night, it made me think of Isaiah 55:2-3
Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
And your wages for what does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Open your mouth wide and He will fill it. Be hungry for the right things. Fill your mind and heart with the word of God and your appetite will be ruined for the things of the world.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.—Colossians 3:16-17
