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

April 19

Isaiah 25:9
And it shall be said in that day, 'Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.'

Barry was a clock-watcher. Instead of occupying himself in activities that would help the time pass more quickly, Barry chose to do nothing. He waited for things to happen, and as a result, he found himself continually nervous and anxious. Barry was never satisfied with the normal course of events. If we approach our diets with the same attitude as Barry, they will be torture for us. Ask God to help channel our attention to other things. Take control and find ways to get the mind on other things. When we wait patiently, engaged in things that are interesting and enjoyable, then we will find the wait is so much shorter.

Today's thought: There are a lot of things more interesting than food!

[Ask God to help channel our attention to other things. Take control and find ways to get the mind on other things.]

Good idea...I sometimes find myself waiting to long to do this and then am in the middle of eating what I shouldn't.....I sometimes think in terms of God is in control...and forget that I need to do my part also...I also need to ... Take control ... and Ask God to help turn my attention/mind to better things.

Thanks for the reminder.

Speaking of things of interest, concentrating on knowing Christ should keep us busy throughout eternity. :ph43r:
