Since I have used this Bible passage as an example of how the Lord God has positively influenced my overeating, this doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the verse. Debbie

Misguided Support for Another

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. Proverbs 21:23

 I was typing this verse ahead from a list of verses that I had noted on my bedside table. I was going to write the rest of the post at a later time. Then I realized that God had provided this verse specifically for me, right now!

I think I am aware of a situation that someone has gone to great lengths to keep secret from others. I think I pretty well figured it out some time ago, but said nothing, because this person has been so evasive.

There's a part of me that recently thought I should share what I believe to be true, thinking it would lighten her load and show that I'm not going to judge her personal life and the decisions she makes. I have a difficult enough time managing my own life, much less someone else's. Fortunately, I have God to guide me through the daily issues and more monumental issues in my life.

Yesterday, I was thinking about contacting this person after a conversation with her to share my insights on this issue. Fortunately for me, God had this verse not only pop up today, but had it resonate in my heart, so that I know that God's telling me to let things be. Having eaten over so many issues in my lifetime rather than turning to my Lord and Savior the way I should, I mistakenly thought I would be showing support for this person, but that's not what she needs and only God can provide that.  Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. Proverbs 21:23

Since I am applying these Bible Verses to my life, it may not convey the whole meaning of the verses. Debbie
