Thea hasn't felt well this week so that means no sleep for me and just trying to survive! But thank goodness we slept last night and it's a brand new day! I have loved each daily devotional and they have all been what I need to hear. Hear are my thoughts...
Day 6- 2 Thessalonians 3:5 May the Lord direct your hearts into God's love and Christ's perseverance. Perseverance is hard for me. I get in the middle of something and when it gets hard I want to quit. If I focused on it being God's helping me persevere I would be in a better place. He always loves me no matter if I stick it out or fail. I am made for victory
Day 7- Match it with the truth! My trigger for food is stress. If something the least bit gets out of whack I run to food. And I do it without even realizing I'm sitting there eating. I want so much to run to Christ instead of food. I need to replace my thoughts of food and chewing with what verses from God's word can fill my soul. Truth is always stable.
Day 8- Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful! Wish we would have put that last sentence in out Tri Chi prayer! "Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food" PEACE will this choice add to my PEACE! I needed that yesterday!
Day 9- I am made for more than compromise, I'm made for God's promises in every area of my life. This strikes so many areas of my life. It's so easy for me to compromise. Especially with things I think are LITTLE things, but we learned this week the little makes up the big! I don't want to compromise I want to look at Satan and say you are a LIAR and I'm made for more!
One of my biggest sins and distractors from God is my relationship with food. Seeking him first will change this and it's an hourly struggle sometimes. Especially when I can justify eating all the time because I'm hungry from breast feeding. Please pray that in all I do that I'm seeking him first and not myself!
Love y'all and hope you had a great birthday Jen! Praying for your Aunt Ginny and your family! Amber still praying for y'all. Cindy hope your family is great.
