“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1 NKJV

We can make up our minds that we will no longer follow the behavior and habits we developed as overeaters. With the mercy of God, we can become new and different people with a fresh outlook on what we can do, the choices we make, and how we think. We can learn from our own experience how God’s ways really can satisfy what we used to believe was hunger. In fact, as we hunger and thirst for righteousness, we will be filled.

God is able to make all grace available to us so that we always have access to what we need and plenty left over. As we make our bodies a present to Him, he like a master potter, is able to transform our bodies into vessels that are useful for every good work. God already has a design in mind for us and it’s more than we could ever imagine. We will find ourselves doing things and going places that we only dreamed of before.

Pray today for a renewed mind. Let God erase the image you have of yourself, and let Him give you a brand new look. You are no longer obligated to live in bondage to your desires for food. Ask Him to satisfy you all day with His mercy so that you can rejoice and be glad all day long in His goodness
