Devotions for Dieters
A 365-Day Guide to a Lighter You

March 21

Hebrews 13:5

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, 'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.'

'I hate Sheila,' Karen said. 'Ever since she lost weight, she's been impossible to be around. She thinks she's so special.' Unfortunately, Karen suffered from a common problem. Sheila hadn't changed. Karen just felt guilty whenever Sheila came around, because she wasn't able to lose weight like Sheila had. Instead of sharing in Sheila's victory, Karen fell victim to jealousy and a bad conscience. Karen needs to understand that Sheila's victory is not her defeat. God will work with each of us where we are. It takes a brave person to celebrate when others succeed where we have not.

Today's thought: I will rejoice at the example of others who have lost weight!

A great big amen! That's what's cool about this place. I see members rejoicing in others victories even when they themselves may still be struggling with weight loss.

Humilty is the key factor to this board. I participate in a couple "Pastor" bulletin boards and sometimes there is so much pride in the posts that it becomes sickening.

That is really rough. You think they will cling to each other as those that need the most God's grace and direction. To whom much is given is much expected. My small circle of influence keeps me humble, by the grace of God. Good comment, Tim.
