M is for Mountains

During my devotional time this morning, I was seeking God's word for me; something I do everyday.  He never disappoints me.  I was lead to a Scripture verse in Isaiah 49.  It is here I found our M word--mountains.  Verse 11 reads, "I will turn all my mountains into roads."..

At times, I know our journey toward recovery from food strongholds seems too big to get over, to wide to go around and right in our path as we try to move forward.  Isaiah 26:7 says, "The path of the righteous is level."    That is the path I am seeking, I need some level ground, and I know Jesus is that level ground.

This past weekend I was at a Christian speakers and writers' conference.  I was surrounded by 607 other Christian women.  We spent a lot of time hearing God's word.  The teachings/training sessions were always soaked  in scripture.  The name of Jesus was spoken often.  I found I did not struggle so much with the desire to eat; great meals were provided and I did not crave more.  I was busy, but I was also close to Jesus.  That makes all the difference for me.

Thought for today is a quote by Max Lucado, "A craving for more is ungratefulness."
