Did you ladies do your Week 2 Day 1 study this morning? I was so struck reading through 1 John on the contrasting view of living for Christ vs. living in sin. The book ends so abrubtly with, "Dear children, keep yourselves from idols." That sums it up, doesn't it? Bottom line, food has become an idol for me. Just as much as the golden calf for the Israelites or pornography for a struggling guy. God doesn't see my idol as any better or worse than any other idol. He detests it because it is taking his rightful place! I have laughed off my struggle - we all have at times. Ha ha, how funny - I downed a whole bag of Oreos! It really is not funny and it really does hurt God.
Honestly, I had no idea I would get so much out of this study, but it really has been eye-opening for me. Thanks for hanging in there with me girls and keep it up!
Sam, what you wrote is so powerful. As difficult as it can be to have such a sensitive spirit, it is and you are a gift from God! Good for you to get rid of the book. I've seen it before and thought it looked interesting, so thanks for the heads up.
