Life or Death

source

Recently, I have just been struggling with not caring about eating healthy. I have felt depressed and discouraged and eating whatever makes me happy. I am so close to reaching my goal weight, but I feel like I have just given up.

I have been praying that God would help to give me some encouragement that would help me to care about my weight loss journey again. This morning, during my quiet time, God answered my prayer and show this verse to me.

"Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death."
- James 1:15 [ESV]

It is like a light bulb went off and suddenly I realized that the food choices that I have been making are going to lead to DEATH.

The death of my body, soul, and spirit.

The death of my self-esteem.

The death of my testimony.

We must remember that it is only through the saving power of the GOSPEL that we can find strength!!

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek."
- Romans 1:16 [ESV]

All that being said, I am praying that the Lord helps me to begin to make healthy choices again!! Choices that will lead to an abundant life in Christ!!

How about you? Have your food choices been leading to LIFE or DEATH?
