luvoatmeal -

Thank you for those. Compling them must have taken some time and I appreciate your efforts.

Here is one that I would like to add:

John 6:27

"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

This one helps me to remember that food has it's place - to physically nourish me.

It is not to be used as the centerpiece of my life. Food is not to be used to entertain myself, for excitement, to relieve boredom, to relieve stress, as comfort, or any of the various other ways I have used it in the past.

That is a very good verse, Donna. Thank you for sharing it with us!
And you are absolutely right in your observations too.

Luv & Donna, thanks for sharing these very powerful words! May we let Him guide us today as we look up!!!

Very wise words, thank you for reminding us.

Thanks for posting these. It really helps me to meditate on the TRUTH! No matter what the world or the enemy of my soul wants me to think on, I can think on these things and know that God has a plan and is in control of all things. And that "the theif comes only to steal, kill, and destroy", but Jesus came "so that we may have Life, and have it to the full." So, thanks, I appreciate this thread.

Here is another verse for your edification. I read this earlier in my morning bible reading:

John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, for without me ye can do nothing.

We truly need to abide in Him for everything.

Thank you so much for posting the scriptures. I am going to print out this thread and put it in my purse for those moments of temptation.

Blessings,
Cathy
