11 And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.[c]
I am continually amazed at how God speaks to me. I have strayed this summer, fought depression, fought weight again, fought relationships, fought God, yet I found myself this morning digging deep to try and pull myself up and out of it all and try to overcome this worldly affect. And what does God do, He directs me to this passage... exactly what I need. Life lesson for the day, Straighten up and do what you are supposed to do! No more woe is me stuff. Just do it! I guess that God really does knows me best and was setting me straight. This weight thing... I have to exercise like it or not. I have to embark on another long journey and another long trial of hard work. I only feel like I can't do it on my own this time... I will need to depend on God's encouragement. So Lord, be with me always and direct my path so that they are in your ways!
