Day 6
Bible passage Proverbs 17:17
I am so grateful that I do not journey alone in this monumental
task of breaking through one of the biggest strongholds of my life. For me accountability is huge and a big
factor in my successful eating. If I am
to be honest and report to another human being my struggles, failures and every
bite, I am less likely to cheat. We are
not meant to venture through life flying solo.
It is not healthy or wise. A
Christian is much more likely to have a strong walk with the Lord if they are
connected to a healthy church and to be in relationship with those people. They can be visible means of God’s grace to
us in all sorts of life circumstances.
Rather than share a joy with a plate of desserts how much more of a
celebration would it be to rejoice with a dear friend in the Lord. It’s a lot less calories for both of you if
you share the plate!
My husband is also a great source of strength for me. Today while making lunch I admitted that
because I had missed my morning snack I was ravenously hungry and feeling
tempted to eat what I was in the process of preparing. He stepped in and finished making lunch. Temptation avoided and back-up support to the
rescue! I’m not afraid to admit that I
do love a man in shining armor!
Friends, spouses and church family are all blessings from
God, demonstrations of his love for us. I
especially want to thank one of my friends in particular for partnering with me
in this.
