Second, I want to share this short article I just read this morning with you called The Food Idol. If you are wondering whether or not you struggle with gluttony, this article will ask you questions that will help you answer that question.
Third, I want to share another funny testimony to help you understand the depths of my slothfulness and gluttony.
I used to joke about how some people believe that hell is personalized to whatever the individual hates the most. Wanna know mine? Hehe. It was running while reading. I literally imagined myself on a treadmill with words on a projector screen in front of me. And if I would stop reading the words on the screen, the treadmill would speed up so I had no choice but to read!
Before reading The Bondage Breaker a couple months ago (which kick-started this newfound freedom), I hadn't read a book, cover to cover since grade school (and we are talking like, James and the Giant Peach). In college, I had friends read the book out loud to me as I took notes, because I could never discipline myself to read.
God is so good, that now I am willfully reading daily (30-45 min) and running (30min) at least 4x a week. And get this, I am actually enjoying it! Since September (2 months ago) I have read 3 books. Again, only something that could happen by the power of Jesus, who is still alive and well and lives in me!
I do not know what you are bound by, but I know that Jesus wants to break all the bondages in your life. Please don't settle by living a life of fear. As believers, we have nothing to FEAR! But God himself.
Feel free to contact me about reading this book or starting the study. I would love to be praying for you and help support you in any way.
