Replacing YOUR EXCUSES With GOD!

#BOD4GOD

 

None of us like to admit that we are to blame. In fact, blame-shifting seems to be a way of life today. A lot of stories I hear from people start with these words:"You don't understand...there's a reason why I'm so heavy. I have issues." I'm sure you have experienced circumstances in your life that are difficult to bear, but I have to say it: Quit feeling sorry for yourself! You have been listening to Satan's and the world's psychobabble for too long. It is time to break Satan's hold and move into victory.

In 2 Corinthians1:3-4, Paul says, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in our tribulation." You must stop seeking your comfort in food and instead seek comfort in the God of all comfort. God created food to be fuel for your body, not therapy for how you feel. Food cannot heal your broken heart, make your children listen to you, stop your spouse from nagging you, or fill a void in your life. Only God can do these things. He knows you better than anyone else because He created you. He knows what you are going through. Your obesity is only adding another issue to your life, and you need to deal with it. SO QUIT SHIFTING THE BLAME to someone or something else! Take ownership of your actions, seek wise counsel, and for comfort look to the loving God who created you.
