Verse Reflections: If we seek God will all our hearts, our hearts will not be drawn to foods that we know are not good for these amazing bodies He created for us. Reading His word every day is a sign that we are seeking Him with all our hearts. My days are sooo much better when I begin my day close to Him. When I turn my thoughts to Him as soon as I open my eyes or begin to emerge from my sleep it seems my entire day goes better. Sometimes I find my mind straying to judging someone I see that has issues with alcohol or tobacco or drugs. The reality is I have just as big of an issue with food. Oh, I can hide it very well. But I know in my head the compulsive pull that food has for me. It is almost like a magnet that pulls at me until I indulge and then my body relaxes and smiles for a while. And then, slowly that smile turns into condemnation and self-recrimination that I gave in yet again. On the days I seek God with all my heart the magnet has no power or it has a minor pull that can be ignored. It is as though just seeking God, reading His word allows me to obey His commands. It allows me to ignore temptations and even more, the temptations don’t appear. I see the magnet but the pull is not compulsive. We must eat our five fruits and vegetables today. He has commanded us to treasure our temples, our bodies.
Prayers: Thank You Father for giving us power when we seek You with all our hearts. It is so easy for me to get up in the morning and start life’s run. But I am going to work hard to start my days with this prayer time Father. My heart is Yours Lord. If I found out I was dying Lord I would clear my slate and spend time with You all day to prepare my soul. That tells me that my heart is Yours. You are the most important part of my life and yet I do not always SEEK You with all my heart. Today Lord, I seek You. I want to find You. I want to see You. I want to hear from You. I want You to be close to me. I imagine myself looking everywhere for You and then finding You. I can touch You, hug You, talk to You, laugh with You. I know spending time with You changes my power. I don’t have to rely on myself. I have found You this morning. Stay close to me, walk by me. Allow me to continue to stay in Your presence all day. That may mean You need to tap me on the shoulder occasionally and remind me I am walking ahead of You. I thank You for also seeking me as You know in my heart I am seeking You. Lord I want to obey Your commands and eat healthy. Keep the magnetic pull of food from me as I seek You with all my heart. We got this together.
