Esther 8:11 "Wherein
the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves
together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to
perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both
little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,"
We may think the ultimate
power is when we can eat anything we want, any time we want. But sometimes the
food seems to control us.
When we regularly give in
to our cravings or to the food cues like seeing something delicious on
television or the wonderful smells from a bakery, we may realize we are
trapped. We have let ourselves become victims of our desires and of the
consequences of eating everything in sight.
The real empowerment comes
when we use our brains to decide what we eat and when. Food no longer controls
us—we control the food.
