When we generally make healthy choices about food (or wise choices about life), we tend to move in the right direction, living as we believe God wants us to live. If we make an intentional exception for a special treat or for a diversion, that might not be a big deal. But if we step off the best path, we're tempted to detour into more unwise choices. In that case, your decision does matter.

God will often give you more than you can handle so you can learn to depend on Him rather than on yourself.

What you fear reveals where you trust God the least

Our greatest priority as Christian parents is to gradually transfer our children's dependence away from us until it rests solely on God.

When focus increases, options decrease.

Don’t worry when you meet opposition for obeying God. Worry when you don’t have opposition, because you’re probably not obeying God.

Your life is too valuable, your calling too great, & your God too awesome to waste your life on what doesn't matter.
