A friend of mine talked to me recently about how I was growing spiritually and shrinking physically. And that is exactly what we want. We want to learn to keep our focus on God, not food.
It sounds simple enough, but it is an ongoing journey. The wonderful news is that I can promise you that it is worth the trip. There is nothing more wonderful or precious than our walk with Jesus Christ. He is our savior, our strength, and our strong tower. He wants to be our everything.
Food can NOT do this for us. Food can only supply TEMPORARY nourishment. There is nothing eternal about food. Yet we often turn to food for comfort when we are depressed, celebrating, nervous, bored and so many other things.
Now, it is time to learn to close the refrigerator and open our hearts, our minds and our Bibles. Yes, the time has come to grown spiritually and shrink physically. Are you ready? Have you already begun the journey? Share!
