the Lord and low carbing...and obsessing

shulamite · 08-02-2005, 10:23 AM

just wanted to put this out there...

sometimes i can obsess on my diet or lowcarbing...

i love Jesus.... He is my FIRST LOVE

i want him to be the first thought of my day... not how skinny i am...

i know that apart from him i am nothing...

and through Christ i can do all things...

He must come first

i want you all to know that i am praying for this in my life and for all you others that like me get convicted regarding this...

He loves us and wants to be a part of all that we do... to give us the strength and direction to accomplish our goals...

to celebrate with us when we meet them... to comfort us in discouraging time...

He is WONDERFUL! and WORTHY

everything He does is GOOD...

thanks for joining in with me in praying and believing and recieving from the Lord...all to bring GLORY to our King!

This was from "My Utmost from His Highest" today: Shulamite I will pray for you today. I have struggled with this obsession on and off too. I am so glad our God is a merciful and forgiving God!!!

THE THEOLOGY OF REST

Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?
When we are in fear we can do nothing less than pray to God, but Our
Lord has a right to expect that those who name His Name should have
an understanding confidence in Him. God expects His children to be so
confident in Him that in any crisis they are the reliable ones. Our
trust is in God up to a certain point, then we go back to the
elementary panic prayers of those who do not know God. We get to our
wits' end, showing that we have not the slightest confidence in Him
and His government of the world; He seems to be asleep, and we see
nothing but breakers ahead.

"O ye of little faith!" What a pang must have shot through the
disciples - 'Missed it again!' And what a pang will go through us
when we suddenly realize that we might have produced down right joy
in the heart of Jesus by remaining absolutely confident in Him, no
matter what was ahead.

There are stages in life when there is no storm, no crisis, when we
do our human best; it is when a crisis arises that we instantly
reveal upon whom we rely. If we have been learning to worship God and
to trust Him, the crisis will reveal that we will go to the breaking
point and not break in our confidence in Him.

We have been talking a great deal about sanctification - what is it
all going to amount to? It should work out into rest in God which
means oneness with God, a oneness which will make us not only
blameless in His sight, but a deep joy to Him.
