And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs3:4-6
I have recently gotten off-track with my eating, because I have been craving snacks even when I wasn't hungry. When I start turning to food in times of stress to comfort me, like I used to, shows me that I've been letting food become a false god again. Instead, I should be turning my stress over to Christ's very capable hands.
He's been showing me of late, but I was too slow to realize what was happening. I allowed myself to get frustrated with others and with God, rather than be frustrated with the one who caused all of this: ME! I am only reluctantly realizing that it's been all too long since I've had quiet time with God when I've felt like eating the door knobs off. That's how I describe the feeling like I NEED to eat something! It's not that I'm even truly hungry, but feel the need to eat, even after just having a filling meal.
Although I've been misguided in trying to find my own path, I am now reminded that I need to acknowledge that I need God to be in charge, not me, and He will direct my paths!
