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

Lost in the Weeds

For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I Am the LORD; and there is none else. Isaiah 45:18

Just like there are some overeaters that tend to get lost in the weeds of eating programs, becoming overwhelmed by all the details that aren't significant, I think there are Lost in the Weeds Christians, as well.

I have heard and read more arguments between Christians about Creation than any other topic. Some Christians hold fast to God's creating the world in seven days. Others feel God created the world, but each day was thousands or millions of years. I've heard other Christians say that God's creation of the world was through the Big Bang Theory and others by some form of evolution, etc.

The thing is, in my opinion, many Christians get lost in the weeds. God created the world. Does it really matter if it took seven literal days or days that were thousands or millions of years long, etc? There have been some who have really gotten lost in the weeds over this to the point that they lost their faith. That's not want really matters What matters is that God did create the world and He wants us to focus on Jesus, His Son's sacrifice on the cross  and resurrection for our sins! We need to stay focused on what really matters and not let others get us caught up in unproductive discussions or arguments that can lead us astray by getting us lost in the weeds. For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God Himself that formed the earth and made it; He hath established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I Am the LORD; and there is none else. Isaiah 45:18
