It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one's own glory. Proverbs 25:26

Verse Reflections:  What if we cancelled the sugar, wine and processed foods and didn’t lose any weight?  Or you lose weight and no one notices or cares?  Can you live with that?  God is telling us to eat healthy without seeking glory for it.  I have to admit I feel like God has sent this lifestyle to me but I do want to lose to the point people notice and ask me about it.  I have spent three work weeks on these devotions so far.  What if no one notices the power the devotions have?  What if no one cares?  The people I have shared with so far haven’t cared.  Is it because they don’t see my weight loss yet?  I think it is but am I seeking glory for me or God?  I think it is for God but I will be crushed if I don’t lose weight to the point of the loss being noticed.  Ugh.  I have to mature again.  I have to lose weight, eat right and not care if it is noticed or even if it works to the level of glorifying myself, my vanity in the mirror.  I am going to look in the mirror to see the light of God reflecting out of my eyes.  I am going to look for kindness.  I am going to look for a person with love, no judgement for others or even for myself.  Moses shown a white light from his face.  I am going to seek to glorify God and dig deep to reflect the light of the Holy Spirit.

Prayer:  Father, help me glorify You and You only.  Give me the power from within to not care if anyone notices a weight loss.  Give the power from within to eat healthy despite the feedback, the results I see.  I know I am eating to give my body more nutrition.  I know I feel better each day.  Bless my ability to not “eat much honey”  Yikes!  I love honey, sugar… This is the right thing to do so give me strength.  Surround me with Your sweetness so I won’t crave sweetness or energy from a quick fix through foods or wine.  I love You.  Got to board a flight.
