Scripture: Colossians 3:2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.

Application: There you have it. “I’m starving Lord, I can’t resist. This diet is killing me. I’m hungry all the time” You’ve heard of the campaign, “What Would Jesus Do(WWJD)?” Time for a dieter’s campaign, “What would Jesus say?” He would say, “Why do you seek for yourself the things that perish? Feast your eyes instead upon Me, the true Bread of Life. I will fulfill all your needs. Come, drink from My living waters and you will never thirst again. I will satisfy and fill you full to overflowing.Come, eat My body which was broken for you. You will never hunger or want again.” If we allow food to become the more important focus in life, we will always hunger for that which perishes. Diverting your gaze to Jesus gets your mind off of the flesh and its never ending appetite. Looking to Jesus who gives the true Bread that sustains you will satisfy for more than a passing moment. Have you ever considered how much eating we do because we are bored, not starving? Maybe your spirit is restless and you need a touch from Jesus, not the comfort of a double cheese pizza. Stop and think in eternal values. What will fill your soul ,which may be starving to death, unawares to you? Jesus will! Before you reach for a quick fix, reach for Jesus who promises an eternal solution to all your needs and wants. Spend a moment asking Him to reveal to you what is really going on in your life right now, and go ahead, ask Him if you are spending enough time basking in His Presence, listening to the sweetness and the wisdom of His Words. You won’t be surprised, will you, when you hear, “What would Jesus say?”

Prayer: Lord, I ask our forgiveness that I turn to food daily, sometimes more than thrice, and yet, I am too busy to stop and talk to You for a moment some days. Lord, the fault lies in me, and not Your attention and devotion to me. Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned once more. Amen
