My calling is to help individuals transform their relationship with food and achieve lasting weight loss. Today, I want to share a powerful insight that God placed on my heart: Your eating is a lordship issue.

Why Your Eating Habits Matter to God

As believers, we understand that every aspect of our lives should fall under the lordship of Jesus. We’re familiar with scriptures like Proverbs 3:5-6, which remind us not to lean on our own understanding, and Romans 12:2, which calls us to resist conforming to the patterns of this world. But have you ever considered how these principles apply to your eating habits?

1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us, “Whatever you do, whether you eat or drink or anything else, do it for the glory of God.” This verse makes it clear: our eating habits are not exempt from our obedience to God..

The Divine Design of Our Bodies

God, in His infinite wisdom, designed our bodies with intricate systems to regulate hunger and fullness. When we ignore these signals and eat based on external cues or emotions, we’re essentially saying we know better than our Creator.
Honoring God with our bodies isn’t just about avoiding certain behaviors or attending church. It’s about stewarding the temple of the Holy Spirit in every way, including how we nourish it.

Practical Steps to Align Your Eating with God’s Will

1. 1. Eat Only When Hungry: This might sound simple, but it’s a powerful practice. By waiting for true hunger, you’re honoring the system God put in place.
   2. Stop When Politely Full: Listen for that quiet, gentle whisper that signals satisfaction. God doesn’t yell at us about our eating; He speaks softly.
   3. Repent and Reset: If you make a mistake, don’t beat yourself up. Simply acknowledge it, turn back to God’s way, and wait for true hunger before eating again.

The Spiritual Journey of Weight Loss

1. Approaching weight loss from a spiritual perspective isn’t about rigid rules or deprivation. It’s about submitting our will to God, even in areas that feel challenging or uncomfortable. When we allow God to guide our eating, we’re not just caring for our physical bodies; we’re deepening our relationship with Him.
2. Remember, fitness and exercise are wonderful ways to honor God with your body. However, if your goal is weight loss, addressing your eating habits is crucial. You can’t outrun a poor diet, no matter how much you exercise.

Your Next Steps

If you’re ready to bring your eating habits under the lordship of Jesus, I encourage you to start small. Begin by pausing before each meal to ask yourself, “Am I truly hungry?” Practice listening to your body’s signals and trusting that God will provide for your needs.

Remember, sustainable weight loss is possible when we align our habits with God’s design. He loves you and wants to guide you in every area of your life – including your relationship with food.

May God bless you on your journey to health and wholeness!
