The other day I would do anything to have it in me. I thought well... maybe I could just lick it. Yeah! That won't hurt me... or just maybe I could taste it and not swallow. Just set in on my tongue and remind me of how food feels.
Laying in bed I just kept thinking "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS WRONG WITH ME"! Why yes I was trying to figure out how to make it into a bacon shake so I could swallow it. I then decided that this stronghold has to be broken. What in the world is Jesus thinking as I lay here and crave bacon like it was my life. Yep time to start praying this stronghold off me.
1 Corinthians 10:13New International Version (NIV)
13 No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
Ha bacon! You can't tempt me.. my God will provide me a way to endure and so he did! The thoughts of what pain I would be in and the vomiting that would accompany me submitting to my stronghold would be far worse then the joy of eating a quarter piece of bacon.
So for everyone who fights this fight right along with me... dig deep and reach into your soul when you feel weak. We can do this!!!
