Scripture: Phillipians 4: 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Application: I would love to have not only my heart and mind guarded by Christ Jesus, but also my stomach. Why do I put some of the things into it that I do? You’ve heard the saying, You must be a glutton for punishment.” In this case, am I just a glutton? What is the answer? The answer is the peace of God. When we receive His peace we no longer turn to the comforts of the world; they will not suffice. They will no longer satisfy. They are truly not peaceful. Has food been your comforter rather than the Lord? Every time you go to eat something, open the Bible randomly, if you like, and read a passage aloud. He just might want to talk to you before you indulge. His Word is powerful and He still speaks clearly to us through it. When I did the studies on Proverbs for 31 days each, everyday there was a Scripture given that pertained to my weight struggles. How did I miss these passages while I was piling on the weight? The truth is, I wasn’t interested in hearing about it. For us, as Christians, our physical appearance reflects our spiritual walk. As witnesses for Christ, let us put on the full armor of God, and let Him guard our hearts, minds, and yes, appetites.

Prayer: Father, the old hymn words comes to mind, “I was blind, but now I see”. Thank You for removing my blinders of what I was doing to myself, and how poorly I reflected Your image. Strengthen my resolve and keep my heart and mind on Christ Jesus. Amen
