I will never reach perfection. I do my best to follow the Lord. For the most part, my eating is great. Occasionally, I slip and eat too much. When I do, there are times I want to keep eating. Deep down, I know what I am doing is wrong, but I enjoy food.

Galatians 5:16 is, “…walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.”

Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001

I need Jesus to keep from slipping, He gives me strength to walk in His Spirit instead of my flesh. On my own, I will choose my desires. I need to seek God daily to stay away from excess food. The Lord guides my steps as I follow Him.
