NEVER feel like you’re alone in your battle with food.  The battle with the appetite has been going on since the beginning of time. 

The Bible is full of examples where our appetite has played a destructive power…take a look:

It was because of appetite that Eve, and later Adam fell into sin by eating the forbidden fruit. (Gen. 3:6)

Esau was unable to gain control over his appetite and sold his birthright, which entitled him to a position of great honor and importance for a bowl of SOUP!! (you would have thought he would ask for a BIG meal) (Gen. 25:29-34)

This is a good one here…the descendants of Israel!!  God sent them food from heaven (manna) to eat.  Did they appreciate it??  NO, they complained they didn’t like it (Numbers 21:5)  This wasn’t the first time their appetites had gotten them into trouble.  Take a look at Numbers 11:4-6.

So how do we STOP this destruction??  Through the help of our Lord and Savior and by doing our part by:

v     Prayer

v     Educate ourselves on health and fitness and get our body in motion

We have turned our eating habits into total chaos and we must learn to take control over them again.  You CAN have victory over this destructive power.  Remember, Jesus said that “with God all things are possible.” (Mat. 19:26)  We can’t do it ourselves we need His divine power and grace.

God gives us His promise for our health: “I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,’ says the Lord” (Jer. 30:17)

Glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. (1 Cor. 6:20)

You are NOT alone in your fight with health and fitness!  Whenever you need encouragement turn your Lord, He will ALWAYS be there.
