“Our help comes from God”

I will lift my eyes to the hills- from whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. Psalm 121:1-3

Verse Reflections:  Oh yes, lift our eyes up.  Even when we live in an area with no hills or mountains we can lift them high to the sky.  We can see the blue of the sky, the white of the clouds, the sparkle of the stars, the light of the moon or the muted colors of a sunrise and sunset.  Just lifting our eyes up changes our spirit.  We are infused with a power that changes our energy.  God knew this when He wrote this verse.  Lift Your head.  Now.  Lift Your head to the heavens and know that God will help You.  God has helped You in so many areas of Your life, now let Him help You in this area of life.  Know that when You need to feel His power all you have to do is lift your head, lift your eyes.  Our God made heaven and earth!  He made us.  He will keep us steady, he will place our feet on a firm foundation and not allow our feet to be moved.  This is the promise we must remember as we start to chastise ourselves.  Claim it.  Know it.  Quit expecting your healthy journey to fail.  God tells us He will not sleep, He will not slumber.  Lift Your head and expect help.  Expect success.  If He can make heaven and earth, He can certainly encourage us to eat healthy foods.  We can do this.  Lift Your eyes and choose God foods.

Prayer:  Ahhhh Father, I feel Your power even as I lift my head in pride.  You are in control, I am not.  All I have to do is lift my eyes, be proud of myself, hold my shoulders back, know that You will keep me firm in my hike to the top of this hill that I have fought many decades of my life.  You are all powerful.  You are the creator of the majesty of heaven, of earth.  Why would I ever doubt that You can give me the power for this journey to health?  God, give me back my confidence.  God, give me back my perception of beauty, You created me.  God, give me back my belief that I can change my life, no, that You can change my life.  I am going to lift my eyes.  I am going to get up today with my eyes held high.  I am going to sleep tonight, knowing that You will not sleep and that You will take my hand and change my life even as I am sleeping.  We are going to know with every sunrise and every sunset that You are all powerful.  Today we are going to look up and choose Your healthy foods that will revolutionize our health and our attitudes and give us a witness to shout to the world.  Hallelujah!

Did you know?  It takes 20 minutes for your brain to register that you are full.
