Partner With God to Lose Weight

by Cathy Morenzie  
9/18/2008 / Health


Scripture to reflect on: "O Lord my God, I cried unto thee and thou hast healed me." Psalms 30:2

If we could lose weight (or dispel any other stumbling block) on our own, we would not need God. Strong willpower, self-discipline and self-control may help you reach your goal, but chances are that without God the journey or process will not be enjoyable, or the results sustainable. So instead of always getting frustrated trying to do more works of the flesh and wasting more time, stay surrendered to God.

I love the image of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire leading the Israelites by night. We have that same guide available to us still. It may not be clouds and fire for us it may be that still-small voice, the confirmation from a friend, or the inner feeling of peace. Paul gives us the perfect formula for success: "but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Phil 4:6).

Remember that we have His guarantee that He will finish the good work that He has begun in us. Where else can you get that kind of guarantee!

So how do you partner with God to help you in this journey that may seem overwhelming or impossible?

1. Cry out to God the way David did. Admit your inability to accomplish the fitness you seek on your own and ask Him to lead you and guide you on this journey.

2. Begin to search out scriptures that speak to your need start to learn what God's word says about self-control, discipline, gluttony, exercise and health.

3. Do something! Sometimes Christians do nothing because they are waiting on God. Do something and God will confirm that your actions are correct. Start moving more, cut down on your junk foods, practice discipline when tempted to overeat partner with God and just do something, and see how God honors your actions.
