EXTRA WEIGHT
Today's reading: 1 Samuel 21-25

It's a daily struggle to battle the bulge. It's one choice after another to make the healthiest decisions I can. It's a love/hate relationship between myself and the gym's treadmill. Today's Bible time has given me a very important 'dieting' tip...

"The Lord will decide between us. Perhaps the Lord will punish you for what you are trying to do to me, but I will never harm you." 1 Samuel 24:12 NLT

Taking the higher road is a weight loss technique.

Refusing to carry a grudge looks good on any body shape.

Allowing God to settle the score between myself and any of my offenders, frees me up to experience more and more of His blessings.

Are their issues I could continue to stew about in my mind? Are there instances of hurt feelings that can be quickly recalled to my memory at the slightest thought? Have I been hurt, used, ignored, spoken badly to or enraged?

You bet I have...but from one weight watcher to another, they're not worth carrying around! Receiving a 'well done' from God surpasses the most fleeting tastes of revenge!
