I eat entirely too much sugar! Baking is one of my hobbies. I just had another sweet baby boy, Jonah, in the month of December so I have been mostly staying home with my two boys...AND since I am now living in the super frigid state of North Dakota, I have been doing alot of baking!!! So, with the hope of spending more time in God's Word and learning how to be completely satisfied in Him, I have challenged myself and some other of my friends and family to a sugar fast for the month of March. So far, on this 2nd day of March, things are going well. I have definitely had cravings for sugar but God has been gracious to provide a way out of my temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13). Here is a verse that struck me today:
"Repent therefore and return, that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" Acts 3:19
It is not okay for me to gorge myself on sugar, or rely on sugar for my time of refreshing each day. Sugar in moderation is not bad. What is bad is when I make an idol of it. Lord, please forgive me for making sugar my idol. May I find my refreshment in Your presence today and always!!!
