Yet Again Dieting - by DianaDee Osborne

APRIL 13                                                                     SUBSCRIBE  
This morning I awoke, yet again sleepily got on the scale, and
yet again said to God, 
          I   GIVE   UP !!!       
And of course, yet again apologized to God.

Yet again
I've drifted into wrong thinking:  BECAUSE >>>>>
   What  the  SCALE  says  is  not  that  important:     
God doesn't care about the NUMBER.
He cares about ME.
He cares about me SEEKing to do what is right,
    what is healthy,   what is not selfish....
He cares about me SEEing that ANYTHING
I'm always thinking about more than about Him
is in idol....
not just food.
Yet again
The LORD God encourages my heart:
1.   Keep praying... First Corinthians 10:13      LINK
2.   Keep plodding....  an ACTION must follow ^ > FLEE.
3.   Keep hoping.....    God is Faithful who Promised

4.  Keep ignoring .... all Satan's lies he puts in my head:
           John 8:44, 
Praying
Plodding
Hoping
Ignoring.....   POETRY RHYME words that continue:

James 4:7 ...

5.   Keep GOING:  Run away    from angry hopeless thoughts
          toward God... PRAYING and SAYING:
               God loves ME .  
That's why He sent Jesus.
                   EASTER joy all year... all places...
      Even on that scale.

PRAYER

LORD GOD,  I *feel*  discouraged when Yet again that scale
won't go down after I've "been good" for a few days... or weeks.
Help me to over and over Yet again  TRUST Your love even when my
"diet fails"..... To remember that my Health STILL BENEFITS
with each exercise and good food I put in my life
Yet again .... with YOUR loving help!
I pray in the Mighty Name of Jesus, our Prince of Peace.

Supporting scriptures:

First Corinthians 10:

12 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed

             lest he fall.  

13 No temptation has overtaken [come to]   you

          except such as is common to man; 

but God is faithful, 

who will not allow you to be tempted beyond 

what you are able, but with the temptation will also make 

     the way of escape, 

that you may be able to bear it.

14 Therefore, my beloved,   flee from idolatry.
(Including the idol of FOOD.)
