My fleshly desires are are not good for me. Last week, I wanted to eat leftover Easter candy even though I was full. (Side note: One month after Easter, I still have candy in my house. This is a one sign I am eating less!). Since I really wanted something sweet, I enjoyed a small piece. I am human and will keep fighting temptations to overeat. Jesus helps me to enjoy food without overindulge.

Psalm 63:1 is, “You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.

Holy Bible, New International Version, 2011

Following Jesus is my main goal in life. I desire pleasure and fun, but only the Lord can satisfy me. Food is a temporary fix that leads me away from the one who can fill me. I was created with an empty God sized hole that only He can fill. Seeking Him is my path to freedom. Today, I choose to seek Jesus instead of food.
