I am presently on a diet. If you are like me you get tired of people talking about "going on a diet." Either do it or be quiet, I caution. We know we lose energy by talking it away. Anyway, this is a three-day, very low calorie, diet which I will follow up by stabilizing with a 2,000 calorie maintenance diet. If I don't do that, my waistline will simply begin to bulge again in a few days.
Isn't it amazing how many Americans are worried about their weight? People in Ethiopia aren't on a voluntary diet. But not many are fat. Americans worry so much about bread that they even use the expression "earning our bread." We chase after earthly bread, then try to get rid of it (by diets). The Israelites worried about this heavenly bread. Finally, God offered his Son as the Bread of Life. Do we accept this Bread or try to get rid of it? How many people have a steady diet of Heavenly Bread? This bread doesn't have many calories, but it sure gives energy for living.
