Yes they call it comfort food, and I do get into trouble when I try to combat anxiety with food. Not to discount low morning blood sugar, and an inevitable coffee plummet, I found this awesome thought (here) and want to share.
"Jesus comes to his disciples to comfort them in their worst nightmare - a storm on the sea. He literally tells them, "I Am,do not be afraid." Two key things are here for us to notice. First,Jesus uses a name ("I Am") that identifies himself with God who delivered Moses and the Israelites from Egypt. Second, he uses a surprisingly frequent command found throughout the Bible: "Don't be afraid." When we are willing to invite Jesus into our lives during the middle of our storms and messes, he not only says, "I Am, don't be afraid!" but he also helps us find our way to our most important destination, ultimate deliverance."
[Jesus] said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid." Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.-- John 6:20-21
It is a fine line for me. I know God is in control of all things, I believe God can calm the seas, all seas, emotional, and Baltic. And I can admit I reach for the salted nuts and the pretzels in the middle of the sea of chaos, and the cake and the ice cream when I am feeling less than...up to it, able, desiring to do it... cast adrift on the sea of melancholy, so I do use food for comfort when I have the actual comforter nearby.
There is a word, gluttony, we don't really use it much in our culture. Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow in haste. ooops. Guilty.
Medieval church leaders made a list of six (!) ways to commit gluttony...
Praepropere - eating too soon.
Laute - eating too expensively.
Nimis - eating too much.
Ardenter - eating too eagerly (burningly).
Studiose - eating too daintily (keenly).
Forente - eating wildly (boringly).
Ha, guilty again. And of a few at the same time!
Well this has turned into quite a rabbit trail this morning, it's an interesting approach to my own personal epidemic of obesity...(wry grin). Body and Soul, I know mine are connected.
Wishing you a wonderful day!
