Total Dependence

“You are My flock, the flock of My pasture; you are men, and I am your God,' 
says the Lord GOD."
Ezekiel 34:31

I love being reminded of who God is in my life, and who He is on my weight loss journey.  Ezekiel 34:31 paints a beautiful picture of who we are to God; His flock.  We may have heard this before, but it bears repeating.  To be part of God's flock, means we will never have to worry about anything.  He will take care of our every need, fight our every battle, and He even lies awake at night while we are fast asleep, keeping watch, so that our enemies are kept at bay.  Friend, a shepherd will lay down their lives for their flock; Christ did that for us.  If He would do that, don't you think He can help your weary soul find the strength to be successful in your weight loss journey?  To say "NO" to the cookie?  He can. He simply requires us to remain in the fold.  Remain close to Him, and offer up total dependence through your daily, active engagement in your program.  Today and everyday, remember that and as God has declared that you are part of His flock, declare back to Him, that you give Him full control over your life and your weight loss.

Let's Pray.
Dear God,
Today I am grateful to be part of your flock.  You are the Good Shepherd that provides what's best for me.  I declare my total dependence on You, trusting that You will go before me to fight all my battles and keep me safe from my enemies that threaten my success in weight loss.  I look to You, and You alone, and declare my total dependence in on my Shepherd.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

Total Dependence
MacMillandictionary.com states that to be totally dependent on someone or something means:
"you need them in order to live, thrive and succeed."
A perfect definition for us and our weight loss journey as it relates to God. In order to thrive and succeed, we must be totally dependent on Him.  Consider these areas where many people rely on outside sources for success in weight loss, and why they will always fail without God.

1. Meal Plans:  Meal plans are fabulous weight loss tools, but even the best ones fail without the supernatural power of God woking in us to help us say "NO". What else could explain billionaires who struggle with their weight.  Even access to personal chefs and the best food.  
It's nothing without total dependence on God.

2. Goals:  Goals are great, but what happens when we just don't care anymore.  God gives us purpose for everything we do.  Especially living healthy.  
Make your number one weight loss goal to be totally dependent upon God for success today!

3. Other people:  How often do we rely on others to keep us motivated and moving forward.  Unfortunately everyone will let us down at some point.  But God!  
Know this:  If you can totally depend on God for your success!

4. Supplements and Surgeries:  Eventually the money or the motivation runs out.  Unless God is in control.  Be totally dependent on Him for your success and you will never fail again in weight loss!
