Are You Too Legalistic About Dieting?

If you shift your thinking about dieting, you could shift your results.

“You won’t lead me where You don’t go,” Amanda Cook sings in “We Dance.”  If I am following Jesus, He will lead me. That means if He prompts me not to eat sugar, it’s because He knows me and what’s best for me.

I know what you are thinking. “Are you saying Jesus didn’t eat sugar?” I don’t know. I just know in order to keep up with where He’s going I have to do what I know He’s told me to do. For me, that’s not eating sugar and flour.

What Is It For You?

I can’t answer that for you. However, if you’re walking with Him He will show you, if you are listening and if you trust Him.

It’s clear then. The question is, do you trust Him to lead you rather than diet rules? If not, then what barrier do you need to ask Him to remove so you can follow Him and be made new, even today? {eoa}
