He saved me, no literally!

God through Christ did save me, I am saved! But last night in a restaurant, He saved me again, physically. I was choking. I swallowed too large of a piece of meat and I couldn't swallow it, at first I thought by drinking more water that I could force it down, but then I couldn't breath, or swallow. I don't know if you've ever been at this point yourself, but no matter how strong I am, no matter my abilities, I am completely at the mercy of the Lord. So I asked Him to save me, and He did. Through a series of "urping" we will call it, 4 or 5 urps, part by part I stopped choking, the Lord did save me. It didn't go down the wrong tube, it was just too big for the tube. So for the next 20 or 30 minutes I choked, gaged, and...urped.
As this was happening the Lord started to show me something. I eat too much. This blog actually started with a very similar word from the Lord, a speech I heeded, but did not follow to the letter, I disobeyed. So now I almost choke and die at a buffet because I love food too much, WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME! (You should have seen the size of my "1st" plate) Why would I ever choose to disobey my loving Father when he is always so good to me? Can you imagine the headlines in the paper if I had of choked and died; "Man who feeds starving children dies of choking BECAUSE HE EATS TOO MUCH." or something like that.
I am not an animal, so I should not eat like one! I am a 40 something male who does not need a lot of the food he eats.
My fiend after about 20 minutes of this came into the restroom and asked if I was OK. I told him what happened and he asked if he could pray for me, YES! As he was praying for me he prayed that maybe this is something deeper (God knows!) and he prayed that God would heal me. (Shortly after that, one more urp and I was able to function quite well, had a great sleep) but I had to tell my friend what that something deeper was, my gluttony, I eat too much. So he was able to confirm what the Lord was telling me to do, so what will I do, will I test the Lord...NOOOOO"Lord help me to obey You, the author of my faith, the One who made me, and knows what I need, save me again, for You, that I would live to please You and not my self, in Jesus name, again: "No one engaged in warfare entangles himself in the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier."
