Obedience requires sacrifice. I say NO to what I want in the moment, trusting that there is a greater reward…knowing that SATISFACTION (which sometimes will be delayed) will meet my soul, even as I refuse to grasp for instant GRATIFICATION.
Today, as I look back over yesterday, I have to say this…no, I must shout it from the rooftops!
OBEDIENCE FEELS BETTER
THAN ANY FOOD TASTES!
How about you? Will you join me today in saying NO to impulses to eat when we aren’t hungry? Will we trust that letting go of our desire for instant gratification will yet bring a deeper satisfaction–a saturation of our souls with God’s complete “enoughness?”
MAy,I also know the blessing of obedience with food today,so I can make God smile. I love you and thank God for your blog.

I so needed this today…I have NOT been obedient and am now feeling the result. Observing and correcting, starting over once again! Thank you!

Oh Heidi, it's been years of journeying, even with you online, and this is a reminder that is not shouted enough. I forget it so quickly, so thank you! I'm returning to His path this instant. Whether it results in anything I can see or feel, doesn't matter. He is the Rewarder, it's His business not mine. Much love from Tennessee~
