One of the things Beth Moore said in reference to these thoughts, If (this terrible thing happens), then (how will I react...). But when the result is, "Then I would just die, or I'd never live through that." We need to be cautious because that can be an area the enemy can threaten us in. And, of course, if our faith is one that says, "God is a loving God and He would never do that to me..." that means our faith is conditional faith, on condition that God only gives us good things. In one of her areas of concern, God just said, follow that "What if..." line of thinking all the way through. So, for myself, what if I don't lose 50 pounds by the time I go back to Romania? Then, I will be fat. Then what? Then I will be miserable and cry. Then what? Then I will get on the plane and head over there. Then what? I will praise You for bringing me to the point where I can praise you and be fat at the same time...and still keep working on the reasons that I chose food over trusting You.
So, I am not giving up on my goal, but I am going to pursue God more than I am going to obsess about how many calories are going into my mouth...because ultimately, God loves me and wants the best for me...and I have to give an account of how I used this life to glorify Him, not how many calories I ate today.
I hope you are blessed today...basking in God's love and the Spirit's transforming work in you!
