For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 3:8
You would think after having been blessed with an 80+ pound
weight loss over 30 years ago, I wouldn't lose my focus on the Lord. Sinful
human being that I am, I get caught up in my own world, concerns, etc. and find
myself becoming sloppy with my relationship with Christ, which inevitably
affects my eating and my body.
When I am turning to Christ in situations of stress, I don’t
need great amounts of food to heal my aching heart and self-esteem. He heals
and comforts me, despite the trials and tribulations of life. When I find
myself starting to fantasize about what I’m going to eat next, I have to re-evaluate
my focus. Am I turning to Christ in times of stress or am I starting to focus
on food again? Fortunately for me, God brings me to this realization, so that I
can stand fast and not drift too far away. For now we live, if ye stand fast in the
Lord. 1 Thessalonians 3:8
Since I am applying these Bible Verses to my life, it may not convey the whole meaning of the verses. Debbie
