Dieter's devo #13
Neither give place to the devil . Ephesians 4:27
Satan would have us be much less than we have been created to be. He tempts us to gluttony and greed, then makes us feel weak and unworthy. He tries and tests us a thousand ways, and the harder we try to resist, the harder he works to thwart us. The only way to stand firm against the devil is to enlist the power of the Almighty God. Wheras Satan may have a field day with his human forces, he has no...

Dieter's devo #10
"Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger, woe unto you that laugh now ! for ye shall mourn and weep. " Luke 6:25
As Christians, we need to keep in mind that we live in a world of terrible inequality. While we have the opportunities to overeat and overindulge, many people have no such chances. So many people starve. It is surely humbling to realize that much of our obesity comes from living in a culture where we can have pretty much...

Dieter's Devo #7
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning therof : and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Ecclesiastes 7:8
It doesn't take a genius to agree that the end of a diet is a lot better than the beginning. Oh, how wonderful it will be to finally reach the goal we set for ourselves, to finish this time of trial, temptation, and struggle ! The Lord rejoices when we triumph in the pursuits of our everyday lives. He longs to see...

...put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts Ephesians 4:22
Fat people aren't bad people. Sometimes we feel inferior just because we happen to be overweight. It doesn't matter whether we're a few pounds over weight or a lot of pounds overweight ; when we're too heavy, it makes us feel bad. Obesity isn't a sin in itself, but often it is the result of sin. Gluttony, sloth, laziness, these...

" Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. "
The days will come when we question whether or not we will ever lose the weight we want to. Frustration can set in and when it does, it makes us feel like such failures. Jesus' disciples found themselves feeling like failures at times in their lives. It was on these occations that Jesus offered them the most comfort. Jesus understood human nature perfectly, and He came to let us know everything will...
