Psalms 139...The Faithful Weigh

Happy Weekend!  As our weight-loss support group works our way through the book, "Thin Within" by Judy and Arthur Halliday, we have different activities that help us look into ourselves to become aware of the root of our overeating.  As I continue on this healthy-eating journey, God continues to bring to me some amazing truths that I have known for years but had never applied them to my health.  Today is no exception. The Daily Bread took me to one of my favorite Psalms, chapter 139, this morning.  I loved the prayer at the end of today's reading.  It says, "Lord, help us to see beyond the moments of our lives and to delve deeply into Your marvelous handiwork and perfect design.  Forgive us for our short-sightedness and teach us to see You in every circumstance."  I couldn't help to think that as we do our "Mirror, Mirror Exercise" and the "Fat Machinery" activity, as we look at our reflections or reflect on our behavior that leads to unconscious eating, it is so easy to be "shortsighted" and react to what we see or feel at the moment.  It is a beautiful thought that as I am learning about myself, that I would see Him in all of it! In your moments this weekend, seek to see Jesus and He has promised to be right there with you.  Then you can say what Psalms 139:17 says, "How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!.."  Blessings to you this day.
