“Stand firm then”

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1

Verse Reflections:  God has set us free!  We are free from eating unhealthy foods.  We are not slaves to food any longer.  We get to stand firm in this new freedom.  We will not be burdened again by the yoke of slavery to food and its pull on our spirit.  Claim it.  Name it.  Christ sets us free from all temptations of the world.  Our temptation is food.  God has set us free from this temptation and every temptation.  What a great place to be after a long life of fighting and giving in, fighting and giving in.  I will no longer allow this yoke around my neck because Christ has removed it.  I acknowledge the weight that has been taken off.  I actually feel lighter in my spirit.  The next time another power tries to convince you that you “need” that food, just speak your freedom out loud.  You are free from that slavery.  You do not “need” that food.  Choose another one, eat it and you will be amazed how your spirit will calm.

Prayer:  Father thank You for setting me free from my slavery to foods.  I truly am feeling less addicted to food.  I wanted to order the fish that was one of three dishes the waiter recommended.  It was delicious.  Thank You for giving me the courage to stand firm in my commitment to God Plus one. Thank You for making me want to be free.  Today, continue to give me this freedom.  Today, continue to make me want to stand firm in my choice of healthy foods, the foods You created for me to eat.  They are delicious.  Thank You for giving me freedom.  I will stand firm with You today.
