The start of a new year is a wonderful time to renew our minds and bodies because it gives us a definite starting point and a measurable timetable. We are fifteen days into the new year. How are your resolutions working out for you? Have you failed? Did you make any? Are you still pushing through? Do your goals glorify your Father? When people hear your resolution story do they turn to congratulate you or do they praise your Father? Are you looking for people to say how awesome you are?
You know what? I want people to say how awesome God is. So, when I say I want to be healthy, I do not mean I want people to look at me and tell me how awesome it is that I have lost weight. I want to be healthy so that I can go out and do whatever adventure God tells me to take on. I want my body and mind to be in shape so that I can do the things of my Father's kingdom. Then, I want to reach a point where my body, mind, voice is simply a pointing finger to Christ.
I can no longer sit down eating the chocolate and caramel covered popcorn. I will be given strength to rise above and overcome my body's cries and pleas to sit back down and be apathetic. I will no longer listen to the thought I cannot do it. I especially will not listen to the thought that I am not worth it.
