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

If you REALLY want to read how Christ helped me throughout this weight loss and even when I was tempted, you should read some of the 100's of previous posts on https://christianovereaterssupport.blogspot.com/

Putting Things Off

 And [won't] God bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? Will He keep putting them off? Luke 18:7 NIV Bible

I remember a time where I kept putting things off!  I will read my bible later. I will clean my house later. I will call those who are lonely, sometime later. I will exercise later. I will eat more healthy later. I will loose weight later. I'll turn it over to the Lord, later. And the list goes on and on and on!

But the thing is, the Lord God made us a priority. Jesus knowing He was going to be crucified to save us from our sins didn't say, "This isn't a good time for Me. I will think about it and maybe I will do it sometime later." It wasn't that making my weight loss or my eating a priority, made the difference. It was that putting my relationship with Christ first, was what made the difference!

When I turned my control over into His very capable hands in matters of food, weight, eating, stress, stressful chores, things I needed to do, or things I didn't want to do, my life took a totally different course! When I turned to the Lord God in all matters, good, bad, stressful, and indifferent, my life fell into place, and once the control was in the Lord's hands, all those things got taken care of, but were nowhere as important as my relationship with Jesus Christ. I have to admit, I still put things off until later, but the Lord shows me what I need to do, one step at a time!
