Verse Reflection: Over and over in God’s word we see that one of the reasons we receive “blessings” and “miracles” is so that others may see God’s power in us or our lives. I believe that God gave me this easy plan of eating God foods so that He could display His power in my life. I cannot wait to weigh in a few days not for me but because I believe if I have lost weight then others will eventually want to know how. In sharing it will help in just a small way to proclaim God’s name in all the earth. He “raises us up” so that others will want to look up to us. He gives us “successes” so that God will be honored. I do not believe that “success” here on earth equals “success” in God’s kingdom. The homeless man on the street that gives away his only pair of shoes will be more honored in heaven or even in God’s kingdom here on earth than the multi-millionaire that gives away a million dollars. The difference is that others here on earth want to be the multi-millionaire. And so, Pharaoh was raised up because God knew others would want to be him. And so, we strive for perceived perfection here on earth so that others will look up to us and want to hear about God. So today, I keep eating God foods but today I eat them so that God’s power may be displayed in me and others will want to hear about God. I like having a purpose bigger than me, my vanity and my wardrobe.
Prayer: Father, today I ask for success in eating, in losing weight not just for me but for Your kingdom. We know that You give us Your power, You give us honor and raise us up so that Your name will be talked about. Your power will be known. Let me help in my small way to give others that exciting glimpse of how awesome You are. This is just 30 days in but overall I have enjoyed the process. I have slipped, I have “failed” but each time You raise me up. May my purpose be Your purpose. May we be healthy physically, mentally and spiritually together. I love You.
