Becoming the Woman God Wants, day 18

Eat Reasonable Portions

She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
Proverbs 31:14-15

Proverbs 4

     ²⁰My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
   ²¹Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
   ²²For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

God left his word to help us in all areas of our life.  If we study the word we will find this to be true.  In Proverbs it talks about portions.  Most of us suffer from portion distortion.  Gluttony shows that we are more interested in our flesh than we are in the spirit.  We all want to age as well as we can, controlling our portions will help in this area.  Overeating is one of the worst things we can do to our bodies.  In this chapter it tells us to never clean our plate.  Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? (Matt 6:25).  We need to exercise wisdom when choosing our meal and portions.  Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's (Psalms 103:5).

Affirmation:  I eat reasonable portions.
