#Truth

The truth is defined as the real facts about something, the things that are true. 

 The Bible is the Word of God - the Truth of God's Word. It is everything we need for life and living. It is filled with His Precepts - God's Truth's about how I am to live my life according to His standards. And that includes the foods I consume in this body, the temple of the Holy Spirit.

 The truth is - do I see myself as God sees me, as He created me to be or I am allowing myself to be defined by others? As Lysa states in Chapter 7 - I will not be defined by numbers on a scale. We have to fill our hearts and minds with God's words. God's truth is the foundation of my identity.

 Proverbs 23:-25 tells us that overeating, overdrinking and oversleeping result in poverty both spiritually and materially. It is the one who seeks God early who finds Him (Prov 8:17). We are to do whatever it takes to get truth, instruction, knowledge, and wisdom. it takes work but if we pay the price and don't give up, we'll be a source of joy to our heavenly Father as well as to our earthly parents.

 She girds herself with strength (spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task) and makes her arms strong. This sounds like a work-out!

 Nothing worth having or doing is always easy, it takes hard work and determination. Let's do this!

 Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. Jeremiah 6:16

All That is Within Me

If you are like me and have an iPhone, you've probably spent the last couple days trying to figure out all the updates. If you have more than one Apple device, such as an iPad, you've spent even more time updating it as well. Or maybe that's on your to-do list for today (or tomorrow). It's not a quick update, it takes a fair amount of time; then once you update, you've got to reset a few things. So, that got me to thinking, have I spent the same amount of time alone with God, reading His Word, reaching out to other believers, or witnessing to the lost? I must confess, my answer would have to be "no." God loves us so much, He rejoices when we call on Him, when we reach out to Him in prayer, and when we meditate on His Word. He's so patient and so full of grace. I keep thinking back to the scripture: Deuteronomy 6:5 - Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. All means completely, entirely; for ...
