“I will not be shaken”
“I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:8 NIV

Verse Reflections:  We can stand strong and not be shaken with God nearby.  It is amazing how easy this has been compared to past experiences because I have kept God first.  When He is the one I turn to first thing in the morning… When I keep my appointment with Him… When I consciously place His word in my heart each morning… my walk with God is steady.  I am not shaken when I walk past the foods that I love.  I do not look at the foods on the menu that are not God foods.  I have seen a difference in my cravings.  I don’t know if this is physiological from the decrease of sugars and carbs or if Christ is giving me the power.  I have a strong feeling it is a combination.  There are times I want to speed up my weight loss but I am reminded that this is my life, this is the life I choose to live for the rest of my life.  THAT I can do.  If I try to “lose weight” I can’t keep it going.  With this faith in action I can be encouraged, not discouraged.  Keeping our eyes always on the Lord will go beyond just eating right.  This will give us the power to discern and do the Lord’s will for our lives.  We will not be shaken.

Prayer:  Thank You God for standing at my right hand.  You are just where I need You to be to give me power, to give me advice, to give me the strength to eat the right foods today.  I will keep my eyes on You as I go through this day.  Thank You for allowing me to stand strong, to not be shaken.  We’ve got this God.  I’m starting to just go right to the “God foods” on the menus when I go out to eat.  And, yet, I didn’t have to feel guilty when I had a waffle yesterday because I have the option of the plus one.  I love You Lord.  I want to serve You today.  Thank You for giving me the power that is in Your word.  I invite You in to my life today to lead me as I keep my eyes on You.  Protect me from others, protect me from work, protect me from temptations and let me not be shaken!  I love You tons and tons.  Have a blessed day Father.  May I be a small part of Your blessings.
