For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. -Titus 2:11-14
Okay, I'll just tell you what I've been going through this week. I've changed my outlook on food. I was a self medicater. I enjoyed food because there was something inherently soothing about it. I don't want to go into the things that happened to me as a child that brought me to this place because I don't want to fall into excuses. Ultimately, I'm the one responsible for myself. Anyway, as I've been doing this study, I have found that my outlook went from comfort to sustenance. I am prayerfully considering my food choices as those that will be edifying physically and spiritually. I'm not sure how to say this without sounding kind of new-agish or uber spiritual, but I find that I'm enjoying food and the lack thereof more thoroughly than I ever have in my life. I find myself drawing closer to God as I let Him guide me through prayer and supplication and yes, even fasting. I am more thankful and more worshipful in that area of my life.
