I woke up yesterday morning feeling a little frustrated. Some days, I have my eating under control. Other days, I give in to emotional eating. I checked my email and my mother had sent me a scripture to help me. She had no idea I was frustrated. God's timing is always perfect.
She has been reading a book called "Power Thoughts" by Joyce Meyer. I intend to read that after I am finished with the book I am reading now, "How To Succeed At Being Yourself" by Joyce Meyer. The scripture she sent me was Hebrews 12:11, For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peacable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
She also shared something she had read from "Power Thoughts". The following is a power thought: I AM DISCIPLINED AND SELF-CONTROLLED. To say that out loud was so powerful for me. It caused me to change the direction my mind was going in. It is so important that we resist negative thoughts at their onset. If we allow them to take up residence in our minds, we will soon have a stronghold that we have to deal with.
Thank God that in Christ I am disciplined and self controlled. God is so good!!
