Awakened Week 12 Heb 13:9 Stop being carried away by varied and strange teachings, for [it is] good [for] the heart [fig., inner self] to continue being established by grace, not by foods, in which the ones having been walking about [in] [fig., having been occupied with] were not benefited. (ALT) Strange teachings can accurately describe the dieter who has not yet been awakened. What strange things we believed. Such as, we can lose 5 or more pounds a week and sustain that pace. We can ignore all forms of activity, especially when the weight becomes more difficult to lose as we prolonged dieters know. We can continue to eat nutritiously dense and high calorie/fat foods. We can eat junk foods and not resemble what we eat health wise as long as there is not weight gain. The list continues of the fallacies we believed we could do alongside our attempts to lose weight. What was your mistaken thoughts? Being established by and not foods is the cure for our plight. Grace is a pure and unmerited gift from God. We learn we have to do our part to lose weight, but the strength to overcome is given by His grace. The forgiveness we have for being so out of control comes from His grace. The ability to say no to a desired binge comes from His grace. We find that we are no longer established by the lust of food, but by the desire for more of God's grace. Fair change off isn't it? We are no longer occupied by the things that do not benefit us. Grace can never fail us because God is unfailing and inexhaustible. Grace is mentioned 170 times in the Bible. Can you find a favorite verse and make that your "meat" for the day? Phm 1:25 The of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen. |
