Verse Reflections: God is the help of the countenance of our soul! No amount of anti-depressants, exercise, meditation can equal the hope we find in God. This verse sounds a lot like some of my conversations with myself. I think David and I have a lot in common. I am willing to bet he would have majored in psychology as well—he loves to think deeply. So, on those days our soul is down and we feel that flicker of unrest or disquiet we need to reflect on this verse. Instead of letting this anxiety build into a full blown foodathon we must turn to God. He is our help, our hope that will turn the gray shadows of our soul into a bright, glowing countenance. The key element in this verse that can get lost is “I will praise Him.” Stop yourself and write a list of all your blessings. I’ve learned with age that no one’s life is easy. Don’t let it destroy you, your eating habits, your spirit or your body. Praise God for your blessings. Slowly but surely the light will shine and you will want to glorify God by eating healthy.
Prayer: Father, I will praise You today. Take any disquiet in my soul and shine a light on the shadows. You are our hope. You have blessed us so much. Thank You for the gorgeous spring flowers, the green in the trees, the reminders that beauty exists even on the gray days. Lord, as You change my countenance to reflect Your glory, change my mind, my choices and give me the firm desire to choose Your foods. You are my hope and I will praise You all day today.
