Commit your work to the Lord, and then your plans will succeed.”
Proverbs 16:3 NLT

A woman I knew carried a pocket New Testament with her wherever she went.
Often I would see her pull it out of her purse and begin reading.
One day I asked her why she seemed so intent on her reading whenever I saw her.
She said, “I read it whenever I get hungry.I’m trying to control my weight, so whenever I feel a physical hunger, I feed myself spiritually instead. It takes my mind off my hunger and puts it where it should be - on the Lord.
What a wonderful lesson.
If we will find new ways to include God in our diet,
He will turn our thoughts where they need to be.

Today’s thought:
There are ways to be fed (spiritually) without getting fat!

Happy 4th of July!
