Acts 23:12 "And when
it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a
curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed
Paul."
Dieting is hard enough
without making crazy vows like the one in this verse. Chances are we don’t hate
anyone enough to risk going to jail for killing, let alone starve to death
over.
But we can spice up our
diets with food related vows. We might vow to only drink water and no other
fluids like diet sodas, until we reach a certain weight milestone.
We can try it whenever our motivations are wearing thin or when we want to challenge ourselves. We just don’t want to get into the habit of using it as a punishment for ourselves.
