Today, I put up a new verse of the week. Last week's was Proverbs 23:1-3, with emphasis on the third verse, "they are deceptive food". How often we eat food that is "deceptive" such as: diet foods that promise help with weight loss, but contain so much sodium or sugar that it sabotages itself. The Bible is full of truths, even when it comes to our own battles with weight.
Verse for this week: Isaiah 40:31 - "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
Note: those who wait - while we are "waiting" to look like the beautiful people we know God means for us to be, we are renewing our strength. By waiting, we will be able to soar like an eagle; we shall be able run and not grow weary; we shall be able to walk and not faint.
God did not give Abraham and Sarah a child right away - they had to wait. What happened while they were waiting? God was teaching them to be good parents and to be obedient to Him. It takes time to lose weight, to gain strength, to get used to eating food close to the earth (raw). We need to be patient with ourselves and to keep at it.
