Let's Stick Together

"A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; He rages against all wise judgment."
Proverbs 18:1

For years, I tried to convince myself that I could lose weight on my own.  "I didn't need a program, or group support. I knew what to do."  Right?  So why didn't it work?  The above verse makes it clear for us.  When we are alone and isolated from others, we seek the desires of the flesh.  One very important lesson to learn on a weight loss journey, is that the flesh always desires what is unhealthy.  It is the support, prayers, and constant motivation of others on this same journey that inspires and encourages us to find lasting success.  We all know what to do.  As the saying goes, "It's not Rocket Science."   The issue is most often finding the lasting motivation and desire to just do it.  Be encouraged today.   As you spend time in the Word, prayer, and engaging with others on this same journey, you are taking the steps toward lasting weight loss success.  So, "Let's Stick Together!"

Let's Pray.
Dear God,
Somedays my mind is blown regarding how simple this journey can be, and how complicated I have made it in the past.  God today I realize that I can't do it on my own.  Not because I don't know what to do, but because I need to remain close in a community of like-minded believers on this same journey.  Thank You for your Word that continues to be a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path, keeping me from isolation.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

E4M DAILY STRATEGY
Let's Stick Together
Sticking close to others on this same journey is paramount.  You will imitate the behaviours of the people you hang out with.  That's why we stay close to our brothers and sisters in Christ; so that we remain accountable and always moving forward.  
Below are four ways to always stay engaged with others traveling this same road:

1.  Read and reread the daily devotions and listen to Our Daily Bible Reading in your car.  I know the hardest thing to do is push play at times, but trust me.  Satan is the one behind your isolation.  Community will always equal success.

2.  Reach out and encourage someone on this journey.  Trust me on this one, we all struggle from time to time.  If God lays a family member on your heart, let them know you have taken their name to God.  Asking Him to bless and prosper them.
 
3.  Share a recipe or snack idea with the family today.  This journey can get boring fast.  Share the wealth when you happen upon a good find.

4.  Ask God to reveal to you any other ways you can stay engaged and find lasting success.  My mom always said, "If you want to help yourself, go help someone else!"

We are better together! So let's stick together!
