Does God Tempt Us?
1 Corinthians 10:13 says ,"He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure." This is one of the most misquoted verse in the Bible. You've probably heard someone say "God won't give you more than you can handle." But he does. And he will. What he promises is that we won't be TEMPTED beyond what we can bear and he gives us a way out through endurance.
Who's to Blame?
It's so easy to point our finger at someone (or something) else when life goes sideways. I know how easily I do it! It's hard to take responsibility for our own actions and choices. A healthy life will never be ours if we don't take ownership of our choices and start making new ones. It starts with us. No one else.
The Yogurt Aisle
I think we all relate to being overwhelmed with choices, especially with food. The enticingly packaged, shiny options scream to us from the shelves. Low-fat! Gluten-free! High fiber! The buzz words catch our eye and scream HEALTHY (they're the ones to avoid!). Knowing your "yogurt aisle" is important to avoid the temptations that derail a healthy life.
Losing weight is hard.
It's not because you lack willpower or the discipline to stick to a diet. Your struggle started long, LONG ago with a single decision in a beautiful garden. Your story began there but it doesn't end there. Health is still available to you. It's time to live at peace with your body and your life.
