Awakened Week 11 For Dieters

Rev 2:7 'The one having an ear, let him hear [or, pay attention to, and throughout book] what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To one overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the tree of life which is in [the] middle of the Paradise of My God.' (ALT)

I look with anticipation and dread at this scene in heaven, where yes, we must still deal with food. I can only say this, in half-jest, as a long-term dieter with food addiction problems. Right off the get-go I must add, lest I offend anyone, that the food in heaven shall be calorie free and no longer consumed in sin as we partake.

We discussed briefly the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in an Awakened (issue 5) devotional prior. I hope you have remembered the great difference and the blessing of one and the curse of the other. One is natural and one is supernatural.

What we focus on today is the promise, "I [Jesus] will give him to eat." For those not yet being awakened to victory and success in their weight loss journey, the casual eye reads this as a future promise and does not seek further enlightenment. For those who have had an ear to pay attention, we recognize that God has given us each a particular, unique Plan that works for us. We then, must give all glory to Him and Him alone for feeding us. He is feeding us food choices and plainly showing us that in times past our own choices had always been met with less than success. He is feeding us spiritual choices where each day we have the opportunity to lift our voice of praise for His taking control and Lordship over our life in this troublesome area. Let us continue to face each day with anticipation of the arrival at the Promised Land of goal weight.
