Can't Touch This

"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
Galatians 5:16

The devil is such a liar.  Can we just start there?  Let's clear the air and get that out there.  He really is.  Taunting us all day long with temptations to eat foods we are trying to stay away from.  Playing with our minds, trying to frustrate our plans to lose this weight for the very last time.  (Remember this, though.  God will not tempt you, and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can overcome).  But we act like the devil just overpowers us all day, to the point we fail.  
Let's stop right now.  
Yes, the devil will taunt us, and yes, he will play with our minds.  But please don't forget something so very important.  He is limited.  So very limited.  The Bible tells us to walk by the Spirit so that we will not fulfill the lustful desires of our flesh.  Walking by the Spirit is our escape route.  We have access to the power of the Holy Spirit every single day.  And may we never forget that it's the same power that raised Jesus from the dead.  Friend, fear not today.  You may be taunted by the devil.  He may be throwing fiery darts.  But the reality is, when you walk in step with the Spirit you will overcome.  He will take you through the fire and you will not be burned.  Take it from M.C. Hammer, and repeat after me as you go about your day, "Devil, you can't touch this."

Let's Pray.
Dear God,
Father, I thank you for this day, and I ask you to bring to my remembrance throughout this day, that I can walk by the Spirit, submit my flesh to your will, and Satan cannot touch me.  As long as I am walking by the Spirit, I will never fulfil the sinful desires of my flesh.  Let me walk in step with you today and find lasting success in my weight loss journey.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

Can't Touch This!
What are some areas in your weight loss journey that you need to walk more in the Spirit and not in the flesh?  Write them down, and keep them where you can see them.  Here are a few areas, I the need to walk by the Spirit more, maybe you can relate.
 
I will walk in the Spirit when I pass by a candy dish, and my flesh wants to mindlessly pick up a handful of M & M's.  
I will walk by the Spirit when I'm ordering food in a drive thru, and skip the fries.
I will walk by the Spirit when I want to snack but I know deep down, I'm not hungry, Im just bored.
I will walk by the Spirit when I am tempted to eat late at night, when I should just go to bed.
Today, remind the devil, that he can't touch you when you are walking in the Spirit!
