Day Three: Weight Loss God’s Way
Have you ever paid for a personal trainer? How did it go? Are you still with that personal trainer? Odds are you aren’t. Probably because you couldn’t afford to keep going and/or you didn’t get the results you were hoping to get.
Has anyone every told you that Jesus is the BEST personal trainer? Well…He is…and it’s true! He will never leave you or forget about you. He will never scold or shame you, And he knows how to get you from where you are to where you are suppose to go. He know what it is like to struggle and overcome. He knows the way through what challenges you. He is the truth the overcomes your lies. And all the life you are hungering for is found in him.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” – John 14:6
God started this whole thing called creation. He will see it to the finish.
It’s all about God. Your body is God’s job. He cares about what you do with your body.
Your weight is not about your weight. Your desire for less body fat is not about fat. Food is not the problem. All of these things are just symptoms to something deeper going on in your heart.
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”- Matthew 6:21
It’s best we now confess that we have made other things more beautiful, more lovely, and more worthy than God himself. We have all misplaced our worship. Shoot…what time is it? I have misplaced mine at least a few times today. So guess what? You are in good and safe company.
Pick up the bible and read about any of the kings in 1 Kings or 2 Kings. You will see a lineage of good-hearted servants of God who turned away from God to serve other people or things, time and time again.
We must confess, without God’s peace, our hearts are anxious for love and comfort. And we prefer something or someone with flesh on it. Even if that flesh is sponge cake with ice cream on the side. We are also anxious for the peace we think we will gain if there was less of us to squeeze into a pair of pants.
We could use some safeguards to keep us from dumpster-diving into our stinking thinking. We need something (or someone) to help us stay focused and to refocus back on God!
The world talks about “triggers” in negative ways.
“Man, she really triggered me when she said I didn’t do that well.”
“I am so triggered by her selfishness.”
Triggers from the world are all over the place. How about we set our own triggers and traps for Kingdom thinking, acting, and living?
It’s important we set a “trigger” to remind ourselves to refocus back on the One who knows what’s really going on underneath the commotion of our mental and emotional waves. We need new neuropathways burned into our brains. We could all use some right cues so we can begin to respond to old problems in new ways.
Let’s set some holy traps for the next time doubts, lies, and temptation try to steal the free life we have in Christ. God’s word, what he has to say to us, is the ultimate safeguard for a wandering and weary heart.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.- Matthew 6:33
