So justice is driven back, and righteousness stands at a distance, truth has stumbled in the streets, and honesty cannot enter. Isaiah 59:14 NIV Bible
Am I always honest with myself about what I'm eating, or why I eat? Well, that's a thought-provoking question for me to prayerfully ponder. I was really looking for a different very about honesty, but this one caught my eye, so her I am, pondering this!
I guess, sometimes I just want to eat a particular item, whether it's actually time to eat, or whether I'm even hungry. If I'm totally being honest, which is the whole point of this particular post, I have been wanting to have some more peanuts in the shell, for several weeks now. The thing is, I've had so many nutrition types of courses that it's difficult for me to just eat the peanuts any time, I want. I have been putting off eating them, because I already had too many protein foods, or beans in my food that day, that it wasn't a very balanced decision for me to eat them at that point. Actually, it's the Lord God, Who shows me things I should or shouldn't do, but it's whether I bulldoze through His wise suggestions and do what I want, or I am open to listening to His divine logic.
Unfortunately, there have been times when I just wanted to eat them, regardless of what He's shown me, and bulldozed through, grabbed the bag, acting like I'm doing in a balanced way, but only eating a bowl full of them. But being truthful, during those times, I made sure the bowl held every single peanut it could without any toppling out of the overfilled bowl. I did stop eating when I finished the bowl full of peanuts, but if truth be told, I really pushed it to the limit. The funny thing was, I wasn't really hungry when I ate them. I just wanted to eat them!
