Psalm 37:5
Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.


Alice Layden was a woman with no self-control. As long as I knew her, she had been terribly overweight. I hadn't seen Alice for over two years when she showed up one day on my front door-step. She looked fabulous! When I asked how she had finally done it, she said, 'I asked God to help me, and I just kept asking Him. Every morning, every noontime, each evening, and anytime I felt hungry, which was almost all the time, I just said a little prayer for God to get me through. He did it! After I thought I'd just about run out of things to try, I found what I should have known all along. God did for me what I was unable to do for myself!'
Today's thought: The more time spent in prayer, the less time left to eat!

    Of course we know that. But, we can be so dumb and forget.

    I mean how dumb are we to think that some Jenny Craig lady is more of a motivater than God. And Weight Watchers really doesn't watch over anything (except their financial reports) God watches and sees everything. And we eat those "Smart Ones". Well, who is the Smartest of All?
