Honest scales and balances belong to the Lord; all weights in the bag are of His making. Proverbs 16:11 NIV Bible
Really, in the Bible this Bible Passages doesn't have to do so much with the scales that we weigh ourselves on, but it has to do with the merchants who would cheat the buyer by using unfair scales and weights. The thing is, this relates to me as an Christian Overeater!
There are times that I remember sleecing my way through a pie, trying to make my overeating undiscovered by my family. I called it a sleece, because that was my version of an extra small slice of pie. The thing is, that would only whet my appetite and I would have sleece after sleece until a third of the pie was gone. Most definitely my family wouldn't have missed a third of a pie that I had just made!!!! Who was I trying to fool???
It wasn't until I prayed that day, telling the Lord God that if He ever wanted me thin, He's have to do it, because I couldn't, and I was giving up! I never in a million years thought that the very same day, the Lord God would turn my whole life upside down! And He took away my urge to eat large amounts of food, and to hide it from others. That doesn't mean that I don't ever start to backslide, but fortunately for me, the Lord has what I'm doing on my heart, and once I put my food, my stress, and my eating into His very capable hands, He puts me back on track!
