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

Bad News and Trusting in the Lord

 They will have no fear of bad news, their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord. Psalm 112:7 NIV Bible

This is almost a literal meaning of the words in this Bible verse, only applied to current times. I can turn the News on any day of the week, and there are things within the News that could make a person shake in their boots, if they wore boots!

Not only do I not wear boots, but this News has caused my faith to shake at times, as well. I worry, What if this happens? What if that happens? What will I do? The thing is, when I get through worrying myself to death over the things that I hear or see on the News, and I nearly eat myself to death in a worried frenzy, then, I finally realize, I'm not trusting in the Lord.

Every time, I worry, it's like I'm telling the Lord God, "I'm not so sure You're going to take care of me in this situation or that situation, so I'm going to worry about it." Because if I truly trust in the Lord God, I know He will be with me through whatever does or doesn't happen, and there's no need to worry. I know this is easier said, than done. I'm very aware of this, because I seem to turn to worry or turn to food first, before I finally turn to the Lord God, to comfort my fears, which He always does. I really should start by turning to the Lord God first!
