“Be bold”

Cast not away therefore your boldness, which has great recompense of reward. For you have need of patience, that having done the will of God, you will receive the promise. Hebrews 10:35-36 ASV

Verse Reflections:  I need to hear this because I am not a patient person.  I would much rather be dropping 10-15 pounds a month and seeing quick results.  However, this verse gives me the boldness to know that if I eat what God has instructed me to eat—His foods then I will receive the promised weight loss.  I do believe that my great reward will be a new life change, not a diet.  It is really pretty easy to eat foods that God made, I love a great hamburger steak, a pork roast, grilled vegetables… what is not to love?  So we must continue to be bold and know that God has given us the right instructions, we know His will.  We must be bold in our eating and our confidence that we will receive the promised results.  We must be patient and know that this will last, so every pound is a real pound lost and we are not dieting we are changing our eating habits forever.

Prayer:  Thank You God.  Some mornings I need to be reminded to be patient.  Losing 4-5 pounds a month takes two whole months to drop a dress size and that is hard.  I will continue to be bold, I will continue to post devotions of Facebook and I will continue to be patient.  Thank You for reminding me that You gave me this plan, I am doing Your will and You will reward me and deliver on Your promises.  We will eat healthy today and be bold about sharing it.  I love you.  Hope You have a lovely day and that I am a part of the loveliness.
