Acid reflux, tummy trouble, GERD – all nasty stuff and they make life unpleasant! If we eat the wrong things or too much of the right things or eat too fast, our digestive system can stage a rebellion!

The phrase we often use is “I feel yucky, that (pizza, taco, too much birthday cake, fried foods, gravy [especially for those with gall bladder problems and I've been there, done that and have the scars to prove it]), didn't agree with me!”

 

This reminds me of Colossians 1:10 – “…that we may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way…”.   The word “please” in this context (and from the original Greek) means “to be agreeable and seek to be agreeable”.

May our prayer this and every day be “Lord, help me live a life that's pleasing to You, help me to be agreeable with Your word and even seek to be agreeable with every area of my life!”

You know this can be a dangerous prayer because the Holy Spirit may bring things to our attention that are not agreeable with the Lord and He may direct changes that need to be made.

It's an honest and simple prayer – give it a try today!
