I'm pretty sure one of God's tools to help us is phrasing.
That is, He takes a giant slice of wisdom, delivers it in a punch of several words, and leaves us to make it operational.
Like the time I stepped out on my deck and waited on God to answer this question, "Why are some Christ-followers (particularly women) so anxious and overmedicated, while others, under even more adverse circumstances, so light and free?"
Feed your strength.
Phrase delivered. Operational ongoing.
I think He delivered another phrase recently, in my early morning lament about yesterday's eating, that is, every yesterday. My choices, in morning's light, always leave something to be desired.
Eating restriction.
Phrase delivered. Operational stalled but trying, trying.
Does it help to have a phrase? I think so. If it is His giant slice of wisdom, the very words have power, His Power. And who doesn't need that?
So here's to my effort for today...at eating restriction.
Has He given you a phrase?
