I make mistakes and fall. In the past, I used failures as an excuse to give up. After one meal of overindulgence, I would continue stuffing my body for a few days or even weeks. When I noticed my clothes were tighter, I struggled to get back on track.

Psalm 18:33 is, “He has made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights.”

Holy Bible, English Standard Version, 2001

The Lord guides me out of messes, even when they are my fault. He shows me that one slip does not define me as a failure. Jesus helps me climb out of the slippery slope of overeating. Even though I can easily fall, God guides me to stay on the road of healthy eating, similar to a deer going up a mountain. I am not perfect, but with the Lord’s help, I have fewer slips. God helps me overcome mistakes so I stay on track.
