Food For My Thoughts

As I am thinking on this verse, it occurs to me...what if…I’m going about this all wrong?   I certainly spend more time obsessing about food/weight loss (or the lack thereof) than I do in prayer, worship, Bible study or church combined.

Matt 11:28) Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29) Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30) For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

Knowing that God has promised justice for the oppressed, and freedom for the prisoner (Ps 140) and that His yoke is easy and His burden light, I will begin TODAY to learn how to rest in Him, seeking Him first.

Matt 6:25)“Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26)Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27)Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28)“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29)and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30) Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31) “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32)For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33) But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34) Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
