Day 3 - The Right Questions

So today is number 3 in the Made to Crave Devotional, and it is a doozy.

"Peter and the other apostles replied: 'We must obey God rather than human beings!" Acts 5:29

Thought of the Day: I must obey God rather than the scale!

Today's timing couldn't be better because today was the day I was planning on buying a scale.  I'm still going to do that possibly tomorrow, if I'm daring enough to go out shopping on Christmas Eve.  After reading today's pages, I have been given a healthier perspective.  Yes the scale can give me an idea of how much weight I have lost, but it doesn't give me value.

Lysa shared some questions that she found on Karen Ehman's Blog:

  • Did I overeat this week on any day?
  • Did I move more and exercise regularly?
  • Did I eat in secret or out of anger or frustration?
  • Did I feel that, at any time, I ran to food instead of to God?
  • Before I hopped on the scale, did I think I'd had a successful week?
Thank you Karen!
