The fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good. Psalm 53: 1

Happy April Fool's Day!
Don't worry, I'm not fooling around with this blog. It's too important and personal to me. Instead, today I want to balance out the day and focus on some WISDOM, which is the opposite of foolishness.
God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore. 1 Kings 4:29
1. It is wise for me to seek a healthy lifestyle before seeking to lose excess weight. Otherwise I am only treating a symptom, not the underlying problem -- a messed up metabolism.
2. It is wise for me to brave the blood tests and document what's going on inside. Otherwise we don't know what we're dealing with, and how to best restore my health.
3. It is wise for me to have a doctor's guidance in this situation. Otherwise I am playing further "diet roulette," and likely adding to the problems even more.
4. It is wise for me to trust God's healing hand. Otherwise I am relying on man, and God is the great physician who calls doctors to be healers for him.
5. It is wise for me to keep on track with this plan, no matter the difficulties. Otherwise I will not learn how to keep these changes I am making.
6. It is wise for me to seek God's guidance, peace and assurance. Otherwise I am facing temptations that I don't need to subject myself to.
7. It is wise for me to make this story public and be willing to share it with others. Otherwise few people will know what I've gone through, what has been accomplished.
8. It is wise for me to be thankful to God for this opportunity for healing. Otherwise he will not get the credit he deserves.
So he replied to the messengers, "Go back and report to John what you have seen and heard: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor." Luke 7: 22
