Day 28: Christian Weight Loss Scripture
Every day in the month of April, I will post an encouraging scripture on my website that I hope will instruct and inspire you on your weight loss journey.
Today’s focus scripture is taken from Isaiah 41:10:
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’
I am always filled with confidence when I read the above scripture, especially the knowledge that God is upholding me. But today, I want to talk about the first part of the scripture, in which God says to “Fear not”. Fear is the number one reason that people do not obtain all God wants them to have.
I heard an awesome way to look at fear just the other day. Dax Moy, a personal trainer in the U.K., defined fear in this way: “Forever Expecting Awful Results”.
Consider the scenario in Numbers 13, in which God charged the Israelites to go into the Promised Land. Out of the 12 men appointed to spy out the land, 10 of them brought back a bad report. They said they couldn’t conquer the land because the giants in it were stronger than them.
They were expecting awful results to come about if they did what God told them to do.
However, Joshua and Caleb thought differently. They remembered that they had God on their side. And so they expected to be able to conquer the land. In Numbers 14, God commended Caleb for having a “different spirit” in him. He and Joshua were the only two men from the original spies to ultimately live to see the Promised Land.
Check what you are expecting today in your weight loss goals. Are you expecting the best (faith) or are you expecting awful results (fear)? What you are expecting determines which mindset you are living in.
And only the mindset of faith will get you the best results!
Be blessed in health, healing, and wholeness,
