Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth. (Colossians 3:2)

Can’t stop thinking about food?  Maybe that’s a signal to you that you need to change your focus.  The more you set your sights on the Lord and think of Him, the less you will be tied down to the things of the world — like the stash of goodies in the cabinet.

Make a conscious effort to turn your thoughts toward Heaven and ask God for help.  He will be pleased to do just that.

Eating to live and living for Christ,

Susan Jordan Brown
