Some Days You Feel Fatter

DEVOTION BY POSTED 8/31/2024 6:00:01 AM ON Proverbs 28:26 TLB POSTED TO THE His Spirit Living in Us Devotion

A man is a fool to trust himself! But those who use God’s wisdom are safe.  Proverbs 28:26 TLB

some days you feel fatterI feel fat today. Way fatter than yesterday. Oddly enough, the scales say I weigh the same.

We’ve all been there, right? We believe things that aren’t true just because we feel they are. The scales are an objective measure that show me how, in this instance, my feelings can’t be trusted. Had I responded to them, I may have taken drastic steps that were detrimental to my health.

God knows how unreliable our emotions are. He gives us His word as a trustworthy standard to evaluate our thoughts and actions. His wisdom is available to keep us from making bad decisions. It leads us to live our best lives and is 100 percent reliable because He is 100 percent reliable.

Think of steps you can take to grow in wisdom so that you will trust God’s wisdom instead of your own.

    Such a great parallel to living your life with Christ. And when the numbers on the scale cause dismay, just look for any numbered page of God's word for relief. ??????
