October 22, 2012 - With All My Heart

Good morning all, I am refreshed and renewed and charged UP this morning. :) The conference was great and I am catching up on my loss of sleep from the past couple of months of events and travels. Now it's time to reflect, renew, regenerate and rejoice. How about those words??? Sometimes it's critical to MAKE ourselves sit down after a long journey and do these things. I need to look back and jot down the altars I created (places of remembrance) along the path and have those ready when the evil one tries to bring sorrow or point out my failures. Sometimes satan even wants to point out that, "God didn't come through for you." How dare he! When this "voice" tries to speak to my heart, I have to visit one of the places of remembrance and remind myself of the GOODNESS of God. Psalm 119:34 reads, "Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will put them into practice with all my heart." Sometimes along our LIFE journey to health, we need understanding to come to our heart as it alone brings consolation when everyone else "seems" to eat whatever they desire with no consequence. God created our bodies with particular filters and tolerances and we must obey those. As we journey and share insight with one another, it becomes instruction to our souls. THEN......there is the CHOICE to practice them. THEN........there is the CHOICE to practice them with ALL OUR HEART. I will tell you that "yo-yo" practice will NEVER bring you to a place of stable health. We can understand what is needed from us in order to renew and regenerate our cells and we can CHOOSE to obey these instructions for a couple of weeks and then NOT for a couple of weeks and "REASON" with ourselves that we've been "good" and deserve a rest. But does this "yo-yo" practice demonstrate REAL understanding in our hearts? Does it communicate to our flesh that life is critical and we must feed and hydrate our bodies PROPERLY in order for them to maintain health? I am afraid not. What that really means is that we get to eat and do what we want and not PRACTICE what we KNOW is critical to survival, but our cells and organs are then slammed and pay the penalty. Let's choose today to understand, obey, AND PRACTICE sound instruction with ALL OUR HEARTS. Have a great Monday, PK
