I see the nation's obesity rate has reached an all time high.
That's bad news.
And not just because obesity is linked to so many serious diseases...
... it also reveals we have an increasing number of folks going through life without purpose.
You see...
One of the contributors to obesity is a lack of purpose.
Studies have shown it.
It makes sense if you think about it...
If people lack purpose, they're going to have less drive to discipline and take care of themselves.
And they're going to be more inclined to medicate themselves... in order to bring comfort or fill a void... with things like food... leading to more obesity.
Of course, there are other ways we self-medicate too... like overdrinking, Netflix binge watching, drugs and porn, etc...
There are all kinds of escapes...
And they all show why it's so important people discover God has a mission for their lives.
A mission that compels us to constantly turn to Him for grace and live for something more.
