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

Wandering Around in Confusion!

 Pharaoh will think, 'The Israelites are wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.' Exodus 14:3 NIV Bible

This passage really struck a cord with me! Often in situations in my life, I've been in situations wandering around in confusion, hemmed in by self-doubts, etc. Times where I think I'm good enough to do one thing or another. Times when I'm trying to make a major decision and don't want to make a fool-hardy mistake. Times when I'm feeling insecure about what I've said and whether I've offended someone. 

As I write this, I find that this list could go on and on and on, but I will stop for your sake! In each of these situations I mentioned, and all the many situations that are still at the tip of my mind, they all had a very simple solution. If I turned to Jesus Christ when I'm feeling inadequate to do things, or I'm trying to make a decision, or I'm feeling insecure about what I've said, not only would my anxiety over these things be taken away, but the Lord's guidance is superb! 

He knows what is best. Christ knows whether I should do a certain thing, or decide a certain thing. He can heal the heart of the person that I'm concerned about, so that whatever I've said doesn't become an issue for them. Also, I can pray for the Peace Which Passes All Understanding, so that Jesus gives me that calm where I'm no longer fretting over these matters, because they are in the Lord God's very capable hands.
