you know... I give God my mind and my heart and my body... to do whatever He wants to do in my life... but a few days ago... He asks me for my stomach... now that seemed really strange to me...
the background to this is... God wants me to give up sugar and white flour... I have a long standing love affair with biscuits and cookies... so I have not been able to give God what He wants... and He reveals to me that I am trying to do this in my own power... and I think... well of course I am.. this is not something spiritual... this is just what I'm eating...
well amazingly to me... God seems to think that even what I eat is His... if we go deeper into it... I guess this is one more thing that we try to keep control of... trying to hold on to some semblance of power... I don't think it is so much about what I am eating... as it is about giving it to God...
it is hard to recognize that every part of us... every little thing is God's.. not our own... and it is to Him to have control of it... and we don't like to give Him control of anything much less of everything... so this morning... as I wake.. and I am praying.. and giving God my life.. my mind.. my heart.. my body.. I also give Him my stomach... and even though I really don't understand it... it is about surrender..
so Lord continue to lead me... teach me to give You every part of me that I knowingly and unknowingly withhold... I ask you to control my entire life... I submit completely to You.. in Jesus name.. amen.amen.amen.
