My favorite verse from today's reading is from Leviticus 25:17  "Show your fear of God by not taking advantage of each other. 

I think we can show our fear (respect/reverence/love) for God in many similar ways, just plug in the area of obedience  "Show your fear (respect/reverence/love) of God by not over eating.  (for example)  This fits because we are to honor God with our bodies, and my fifty extra pound of baggage I imagine is not exactly honoring Him with my body....

I wonder how to connect the dots... to have that thought before I skip the exercise, or before I pig out on junk food.....  I'm thankful for forgiveness, but I'd like to tap into the strength that I know is available to me to just avoid the bad habits....

I think I'll go down another glass of water, perhaps I'll raise it in a toast and drink it in His honor!!
