Slow Weight Loss?- Get The Lesson-Get The Blessing
Author : Cathy Morenzie
Beloved, why do you think you keep going around and around the same mountain?
Why do you keep taking one step forward and two steps back? Is God so uncaring and unfeeling that He refuses to help you in the area where you are most needy?
If this is our assumption, then we couldn’t be farther from the truth. In fact, it’s the exact opposite.
God loves you so much that He wants you to experience life in abundance (John 10:10). This can only happen when you get in line with where He wants you and needs you.
If your weight loss is not happening, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Have you submitted your request to God? “You do not have, because you do not ask God” James 4:2.
2. Are your motives in the right place? Are you asking God to bless your plans or are you submitting your plans to God? Are your reasons for weight loss purely self-serving, or are they God-serving?
3. Are you trying to please God, or society? There’s so much pressure from society to look good. Really, there’s nothing wrong with that. God wants us to look good—after all, he created us in His image. But He wants us to get the credit for our weight loss success. That’s how we build His kingdom.
4. Are you constantly trying to bypass the lesson? If you’re constantly trying the latest weight loss fad then you’re trying to circumvent the process. God wants us to get a crown that will last forever (1 Cor. 9:25).
God has many blessings for us but until we learn the lessons, we will continue to go around the same mountain. Remember that weight loss is a process. Every step in the process will strengthen and mature us -- especially the trials.
