Healthy Eating and Weight Control - 2

Our bodies are made in such a way as to sense and indicate to us a need. Hunger is an indication that the stomach is empty and the energy level low. Thirst prompts us to reach out for a drink indicating that the body needs to be hydrated. However, we are able to either ignore or control these natural indicators and delay gratifying the need. On the other hand, we can indulge in eating and drinking merely for enjoyment. This can result in a compulsive eating problem. our sensors are dulled and we are unable to resist any food desirable food that is available.

We can be on the other end of the scale, and become over conscious about eating healthy food. The consequence is fear and under nourishment.

It is not too late to develop good eating habits. It is simple. Be sensitive to the indications of your body. Be wise in choosing  well-balanced food. Do not allow yourself to be preoccupied or become fearful about your food.
We don't live to eat but we eat to live!

Matt 6:25-27

Our minds are always hungry, picking up things to process and meditate on. The mind is the gateway to the heart. The attitude of the heart is set according to what the mind thinks on. Every moment we are awake, information enters our minds through one or more of the five senses - seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touching. It is therefore important for us to consciously drop the information that is unnecessary or harmful to our soul. Our body instinctively reacts to anything that is harmful. For example, the eyelids shut bright light or any object that comes towards the eye.
Gossip, tale-bearing, pornography, blasphemy - these are poison to the soul.
God's word, revealed through the Bible, is the best food for the soul. First of all it brings salvation to the lost soul. Then it nourishes the soul. God's word helps us to understand who we are and what we are here for. It  gives wisdom, putting all knowledge into perspective. It gives peace to the mind and brings healing to the body.
Jer 31:12, Heb 4:12, James 1:21, 3 John 2

Prov 4:23, Phil 4:8 , Is 26:3

The spirit in every person born into this world has to be revived by the Spirit of God, The Creator. There are evil spirits that are deceptive.These can oppress us and if given the opportunity will possess us. A person affected by an evil spirit would be restless, lacking peace. God's Spirit made available to us through The Lord Jesus Christ gives peace, love, and joy.
I receive the Spirit of God into my heart by coming to God humbly, acknowledging my need of Him. I confess and repent of my sin. I receive His forgiveness that is given to me through Jesus, The Son of God, Who took on Himself on the cross, the punishment for my sin. As I receive His Spirit by faith, His love fills my heart. When I meditate on the word of God, praise Him and worship Him, my spirit is nourished and satisfied. It is then connected to God and navigated in the right path.
A vehicle cannot run unless its tank has fuel. We cannot live a spiritual life unless our hearts are filled with God's love.
Make sure you have a good breakfast and your 'Tank' is full each morning!

Ron 5:1-5, John 14:25 -27
