I Say Yes to my New S Diet
Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2012 9:51 am
OK- - -I know I'm a wholehearted outlaw when it comes to devising a plan of attack on my excess weight. My body is not a prison AND I REFUSE TO LIVE LIKE A PRISONER IN IT.
My body is the temple of GOD. How I treat it and dwell in it must reflect this fact. Any habits worthy of acquiring will magnify God's presence in my life. Even (especially) on S days.
I like the No S approach for helping me develop acceptable habits of WHEN to eat. There are plenty of plans to tell you WHAT to eat. However, I think what is lacking in all diet plans is HOW to eat. Not one diet plan that I've read about tackles the heart of the matter of gluttony and that is the sin involved in the disgusting habits that dethrones and/or replaces Jesus in my heart. Face it. Do you think that food can be idolized?
Do we think more about the created than we do of the CREATOR? Do we find more joy in eating than we do in soaking up God's Word?
There is a lot of subtle idolatry in this world and FOOD because it is something that the body needs to survive, ranks in the very TOP.
So I've come up with my New S Diet that demolishes my sinful, shameful, and senseless habits.
I say YES to the HOLY SPIRIT that dwells in me.
I say YES I will honor his presence and guidance over my life
I say YES to my faith in God to sustain me
I say YES to the humility of my desperate need for God to fill me up in every area of my life
My new S diet is to
Share my God
Share my acceptable thoughts
