Halloween is almost here. This past week, I have eaten more candy than I had in the past 5 months. My stomach is complaining. Even though I only ate a few pieces each day, my stomach complained about the excess sugar. It makes me wonder how my body processed the large amounts of sweets I used to eat.

This morning, God showed me I had slipped on my Bible reading this past week. My tired brain wandered instead of concentrating on struggled morning devotionals. Since I started my day Jesus, I did not think to seek Him later in the day. Without God by my side, I reached for food.

Isaiah 26:3 is, “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.

Holy Bible, New Living Translation, 2015

When my mind is fixed on the Lord, I easily walk away from sugar. I need to spend time reading His Word and in prayer. I started opening my Bible app instead of scrolling through social media when I want excess food. Only Jesus fills my heart and satisfies me.
