“Credit God”

But he that glories, let him glory in the Lord. 2 Corinthians 10:17

Verse Reflection:  This time around I totally understand what this verse is saying.   If I change my eating habits to healthy ones for the rest of my life, then I have to credit God.  I have fought this battle for over 35 years and I can’t win it on my own.  This time with God is definitely making the difference. We must let everything we do glorify God.  We have to glorify God in our speech, in our thoughts, the compliments we give others, the work we do and of course, what we eat.  It is God’s business that we are working for.  It is God’s family He has given us.  It is God’s body he has loaned us.  It is God’s talents He has given us to use.  When we get credit for anything we must glorify God.  Everything we do, everything we are, we must Give God the glory.  Every time we are successful, we must give Him the credit.   When He gives us the power, the strength to stop at one serving, God gave us that strength.  YAY GOD!   That is the cool thing about the God + 1 is that we can have another + 1 tomorrow!  And still glory in success.  When I am asked how I lost this weight that I am going to lose, I must make sure that I give God the glory.  Honestly, I cannot do it without Him.  He deserves the glory.

Prayer”  Bless our day today!  Let me give You the glory for all that happens today.  You are amazing and I am looking forward to living today surrounded by Your glory.  Your world is gorgeous, I am living in the moment, living with You and for that I give You the glory!  God, I plan to listen to You and use Your power.  Allow me to look around and breathe in Your beauty.  Allow me success in this journey.  And when I celebrate, let me celebrate the success YOU gave me.  Let me help YOU change thousands of lives by spreading the word of Your power.  By giving You the glory for giving us this power that is beyond us as humans on our own.   Thank You for the success that I am experiencing in changing my eating habits.  I love You.
