In the Skin

As I read about God covering Adam and Eve with animal skins, I couldn't help but think about how part of Adam's function in the garden had been to name all the animals. Now he stood there wearing the skin of one of those animals. His sin cost a life.

What does that have to do with losing weight? Well, as a believer I stand covered by the sacrifice Jesus made. My sin cost a life--His life. He has made an exchange with me. He died for me so that I can live for Him. This is where the eating comes in. Eating is part of life. If I live for him that includes eating for him. We know when we are crossing the line in overeating or making excuses for poor choices.

Think about the skin you wear next time you reach for a snack you don't need or isn't good for you.
