“Father, please show me my sin.”
The problem is always too much of a good thing. When Paul tells us in Ephesians to not be
drunk it is because that is excess. When
I come upon pantry items for my home that are on sale I want to buy them
all. I have eaten an entire pie in one
sitting. It is not wrong to drink, shop,
or have pie. It is so very wrong for me to
do anything to excess.
So much of my battle with my weight over the years was due
to excess. I am better at it but I still
have moments where I must see that I desire excess deeply. Just last night I was eating somewhere that
gives away free ice-cream with your meal.
I had enough to end my meal; a taste that was delicious, enjoyable, and
healthy. As I sat there talking with my
dinner companion I kept wanting more.
It is my responsibility to insure that I do not sin by
taking or consuming too much of anything.
This is one of those things with which I constantly struggle.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
