You do not have to be ruled and governed by your shortcomings and failures.
Psalms 139 tells us that we are fearfully and wonderfully made! Regardless of our size, color, height or weight! Yes, I said it. Regardless of what we look like, God loves us... However, God didn't create us to be constant downtrodden or live in defeat.
Do you feel defeated by your carnal cravings? Do you feel bound by your physical appetite? Are you allowing your life to be dictated by what you're going to eat? Are you allowing cravings to control your life?
That's a problem. Ouch. How can we be victorious, if something as small as the tastebuds in our tongue actually governs our life??
Don't get me wrong- treats are great during time of celebration, but indulging is unrestrained action.
Unrestrained. Without guide.
When we turn to food during stressful times, we're looking for comfort. But the Bible tells us that God is our comfort! Salty cravings and cookies during sad times.... The Lord should be our Joy!
Have we succumbed to putting our trust more in food than we have in God? Do we trust that brownie to make us feel good more than we trust God? Will that cake really solve the stressors of financial difficulties or the jumpy nerves from dealing with an ill-tempered child??
Gut check. Really.
I want to seek GOD in all that I do, including what food I partake in.
Does that mean never indulging? No. It means facing life prayerfully, and not turning to sweet and treats to solve my stress and worries.
What about you? ❤️
