Dieting is no fun! Ask any woman! Many of us spend a good amount of our life yo-yo dieting. It's a miserable way to live. As we mature in our health journey we begin to see it's not so much "dieting", but a "lifestyle change" that yields good fruit and success in our lives.
As I sit here, before the sun comes up, eating a banana, the Holy Spirit said, "Fill up on good things and you wont crave bad things". My heart said, "Yes, Holy Spirit, you are so right. If I keep eating healthy I will not crave anything unhealthy. Thank you Lord." and I continue enjoying my banana and Ginger/Lemon tea. Then the Holy Spirit nudged me again saying the same goes with spiritual food. "Ah, yes, Holy Spirit.". I love how God uses our current situation to speak spiritual wisdom. He paints such clear pictures for us.
When we fill up on good things, we wont crave bad things. The more we partake in healthy spiritual food the more we will crave healthy spiritual food. What we eat changes our tastes buds. We hunger for what we eat most. If we partake in lust, feed pride, and give into greed, we will hunger for such things continuously. But if we fill up on God's word, protect our ears by filling them with His praises and guard our hearts by filling it with His promises we will hunger for more of Him. What we choose to fill up on daily will determine what we crave daily. A lifestyle of holiness begets holiness, as a lifestyle of sin begets sin.
Fill up on good things.
