"Taste for Truth," Is Overeating a Sin? Part 1
Barb asks us the question of whether we think overeating is a sin?
She has come up with three questions. The first one she gives us today.
"Are you turning to food to cope with life?"
If we are turning to food instead of God we might need to look at that. "Turning to food can become dangerous if we are drowning our sorrows in ice cream."
"Why?" she asks.
"Because we're developing the a habit of going to food for help with life's problems. Not only is that unwise - since food can't solve our problems - but it also puts us at risk for making an idol of food."
That never occurred to me.
"Making an idol of food."
Something here to think about.
Bible Study
3. ...According to the following verses, what will God do for us if we go to Him for help with our problems?
Psalm 46:1-2
God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear,
though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into
the heart of the sea.
Hebrews 12:7-11
Galatians 5:16,22-23
Assignment
Go to God for help instead of food.
Gratitude
1. A true God who helps when we ask
2. Calming music
3. Calming friends
Hebrews 13:5
I will in no way leave you,
neither will I in any way
forsake you.
Blessings,
Deborah
