Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I entrust my life. Psalm 143:8

Verse reflections:  God’s love is unfailing.  Starting our morning in His word reminds us that He will not fail us.  We, as humans, will fail every time.   We have to put our trust in Him to give us the strength to eat healthy.  Otherwise, I give in to cravings and eating what tastes good instead of eating what is good for me.  He promises us here that He will show us the way we should go.  Every single day, IF we start with His word in the morning, He will give us our path for the day.  We will be tempted to give in, but He promises us that for every temptation, He will give us the way we should go.  Name this and claim this.  We are entrusting our lives to Him when we eat according to His plan.  We can literally destroy our health by eating sugary, salty, processed foods that have no nutritional value.  We create our own destiny when we do not follow the way He has shown us.  We will have diabetes, high blood pressure, joint pain, heart issues and the list goes on.  We have to entrust our lives to God because we will fail on our own.  We cannot gain 50 pounds plus and expect to remain healthy.

Prayer:  God, thank you that each morning Your word does show me Your unfailing love.  This verse is just beautiful and reminds me that if I put my trust in You, I will have Your path set in front of me.  There may be other paths off to my left and right but when I come to You, spend time in your word, I can see the path straight ahead clearly.  I cannot explain Your power God.  Words cannot share with others the strength You give me that I cannot access within myself.  Your path is clear when I start my day, my morning in Your word.  My day may not be easy but I can make the right choices despite the obstacles.  When I place Your word inside of my heart, when I trust in You my day is filled with power.  I can turn down the processed foods, the chips, the salty snacks, the cookies, candy and cake.  I can make the right choices that will make my body and my life healthier.  Today, Lord, I entrust my choices, my heart and life to You.  Thank You for Your unfailing love.  You are the +1 that I depend on.  Your word is my +1 that I entrust my life to.
