I recorded the first draft of the song "James Four Seven"  (4:7) 
on a tiny voice recorder during the trip between Ohio's ALIVE music festival and PA's CREATION music festival.... 
tapping on my knee to give my studio producer the "beat" that
I sent to him by cell phone moments later.... and
very LOST.  I had read “SW” in the directions   as  “NW.”   

20 miles later,  I was sitting by some Ohio canal history sign at dusk, completely lost, but too excited about this song idea that I had to write down before I forgot it,  to care how lost I was!  

Through James 4:7 plus verse 8 ---
“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.  Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.” (New KJV) ---

God gives us a WAY OUT when we feel

        overpowered by temptations            

       to overeat and over-ANYTHING!

And it is EASY..... Just draw near to God,

and He will take care of the rest.

Including helping you NOT give in... same as God said in
First Corinthians 10:13.

This song by someone who obviously was NOT raised to sing (or even listen to Hip Hop music!)   is yet another evidence that God's Holy Spirit  empowers  

even crazy people who yearn to do 

whatever is God's work for His Mighty kingdom.. 

far beyond what we'd even dream to pray for!  
 --Ephesians 3:20 and 21.                               BIBLE   LINK  HERE

PRAYER
LORD GOD,  help me to remember:  You've DONE Your part and are waiting for ME to 
act.... waiting for ME to draw near to You.  For You have with such love and grace already come almost the entire distance to ME when You sent Jesus to die on the cross for me... so I can be forgiven for EVERY sin... even these that I call "small" but YOU do not.  Please help me to fight my pride, to recognize Your Truth,  to reach to You so that I'll survive any temptation thrown in my path by Satan who YOU say is real... who JESUS said in many places including John 8:44 is a very real person who hates ME... wants to destroy ME.

God's Supporting Word
:...in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began,... -- Titus 1:2

"God [is] not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? -- Numbers 23: 19

""And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He [is] not a man, that He should relent." -- God speaking to King Saul -- and us all --  through Samuel in First Samuel 15:29.
