God’s bod
I am a bible-believing Christian. God’s word gives me peace, joy, fulfillment, and everything I need to live.
However, if I had been living in obedience to God’s word, I wouldn’t be in the shape (which is round) I’m in now. Gluttony is a sin, and although He has forgiven me of that sin, and Jesus paid the price for my sin on the cross, I still have the effects of that sin -all this fat hangin’ off my bones that I have to deal with.
So now, I need to live in obedience and eat only what my body needs to live. He will provide-I need not fear that He won’t. I read somewhere that sometimes people overeat because they are afraid of when they might be able to eat next, or they’re afraid of where their next meal is going to come from. No fear-He will provide. (I may have to cook it though! I’m NOT a good cook.)
One thing I have noticed is, when I am craving sugar or something my body doesn’t need or shouldn’t have (not just weight loss, but food sensitivities that make me feel sick in different ways), I am, more and more, turning to the Lord, asking Him to take away that craving or that urge to eat when I shouldn’t. He has been doing it too. So, therefore, a little hunger, or craving, is serving to draw me closer to Him. This is a good thing. It’s like a little reminder to pray.
When I was at work last week, I heard Him say to me, “God’s bod”. I know, from the scriptures, that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I know He wants me to do this His way, not the worlds’ way. In other words-no diet. Just eating HEALTHY, and following His plan. (i.e. no gluttony!) and turning to Him when the cravings strike.
