And let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we will reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

Verse Reflections:  For those of us who have been through diets, fasting… this is a verse we have to integrate into the very marrow of our lives.  We cannot diet, it is a temporary fix.  We cannot be weary in eating well.  It may take us time to change over our lives, to eliminate the binges, to eliminate our negative self-talk.  Jesus is reminding us that we will live a healthy life, we will reap the benefits of eating healthy foods if we just do it.  There is always a reason to splurge.  We have to enjoy giving ourselves permission to eat all of these foods God made, not focus on the foods we cannot eat.  We must claim this verse and continue to eat well even when the choices include sugar and carbs that we know will throw us off the path we have chosen.   We must know that we will reap the benefits of eating foods that feed our bodies with nutritional advantages.  Spend a little more and buy those berries.  Why do we continue to make choices that do not add any nutritional value?  No food from God is bad for us and they taste delicious!  Eat.  Eat and enjoy.  We have lived the lives of avoidance and chastisement.  We criticize every choice we make.  Quit.  Stop.  Enjoy eating.  Go buy whatever God food you want and eat it.  Think of all the foods you CAN have.  Go buy them.  Mix them, add flavors.  Have fun eating.  Do not grow weary in eating these foods.  You will become healthy mentally and physically.  You will definitely reap the benefits!

Prayer:  Father, today is a great day to remind me to not be weary in making the right choices.  Thank You for sending this reminder that I need to keep choosing your foods.  I need to keep eating right.  It is so hard not to reach for the carbugers.  It is hard not to focus on the “I wants”.  Give me the strength to move toward Your foods and to enjoy my choices.  “I can” have all of Your foods.  “I can” cook a delicious dinner using Your foods.  “I can” eat those fruits and vegetables at parties.  I will choose these and not become weary.  I want to black out and faint some days, forgetting that I should make healthy choices.  Hold me up, give me the attitude of “I can” choose these foods.  “I will” choose these foods that You created and we will be successful and reap a healthy body in due season.  I need You Father, I cannot do this by myself.  Take my hand and lead me forward into this healthy lifestyle.  I like that You say, “let US not be weary…”  Amen!  This has to be an us for me to make the choices I need to make.  Thank You Father for this verse.  Today we will not be weary in well doing, we will choose Your foods.
