Hope deffered
Written by Toni Parker
Proverbs 13:12
Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life.
Overeating is truly a destructive force. Most of us are aware that we are not healthy, we are not eating right often at times the fleeting thought of loosing weight comes through our mind. But the thought it too much effort or I love my food. I am ok. Even denial kicks in I am not fat. But at one time we do think I should do something about it. All the meanwhile we continue to eat. This really spoke to me the fact of this scripture when we defer those thoughts that our heavenly father tells us because he loves us. We truly do make our heart sick. Obesity is one of the largest causes of heart attack and this is purely because we are over eating we are making our heartsick risking, High cholesterol, and high blood pressure and even worse causing a heart attack.
But there is great news in this scripture when our desire comes to overcome our eating we are given a pass out of sickness and disease. God Gives us the tree of life he is that tree of life. He has already given us all the tools to be the over comer, same as he gave the trees all they need to with stand a storm. They are rooted and grounded in the ground. We too are rooted and grounded in him. He know exactly what nutrients we need to eat and they are foods made by him. He is our tree of life let us be rooted in him and grow into the people of God that he created he is so in love with us and he wants us the best for us. So lets not defer our hope no longer lets strive to reach the person that God built us to be perfected in him. So to acheive this we must eat the way he desires us to eat and we must excercise our heart to help become strong like our tree that lives in us.
