To eat or not to eat

It has occurred to me that I have choices. Yes. Some of you might be saying some snarky sarcasm laced comment right about now. I don’t blame you but bear with me. My discovery is not a cure for anything I do admitt. However if certainly puts things in perspective when one is trying to excercise self control.

Questions like do I eat this or that? Do I use this much or that little? Do I sleep in or exercise? By now you have gotten my drift. The point is in case you are still in a fog of confusion we have a choice to make everyday. We choose whether today will be a win or lose day. We choose victory or defeat. Not what I wanted to hear but it is what I needed to hear.

I’m reminded of what Joshua told the people Choose who you will serve....
He gave them the choice between God and Mammon. That choice sits before us today as well. It spills over into everything. Do I live without control or do I choose to be disciplined and reap the rewards? So I ask myself, to eat or not to eat? The choice is mine.


Father, I love to think that I am completely innocent and all that happens to me is outside of my doing. I know that the truth tells a different story. Lord forgive me for the choices that I made that led me to this state of weight over load and all it’s entrails. Forgive me for choosing to stingy my lust for this or that when another option was always available. Lord today I don’t sit and bemoan but this is me being self aware. Tomorrow is another day and once again choices will be there to be made. Help me Fther to choose wisely. In Jesus Name, Amen.
