Healthy Living
Statistics show that most American women don't like the way they look. Recent surveys suggest that anywhere from 55 percent to an alarming 90 percent of women indicate some level of distaste for their physical appearance.
What is it that makes us so dissatisfied when we look into the mirror? Are we perfectionalists, tainted by societies images and standards, or are we truly masochist at heart? Psalm 139:14 says this: "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." You may get to your goal weight some day, but do you have to get there first to start praising God? Thank Him for the desire He has put in you to normalize your weight.
You are so fearfully and wonderfully made that God is allowing your body to return to health and a good weight. Why wait until you get there to praise the Creator? Why not thank Him today for the very idea and courage that He has given you to embark on this journey? I am afraid that when we complain our prayers might bounce off the wall. Try praise today for the wonderful restoration of the physical body that God gives us another chance to accomplish.
Prayer: I rejoice, O Lord that You give me a second chance to bring my body to a normal weight. I accept the challenge and I thank You for the opportunity. Amen
