Don't Get Caught
"For the LORD will be your confidence, And will keep your foot from being caught."
Proverbs 3:26
Do you ever feel stuck in your wellness journey? Do you feel like you can't break the bad habits, stay out of the pantry, candy jar, or fridge? Friend, may I lovingly ask you, "What are you doing to get unstuck?" If we adhere to the Word of God, we learn that the only way to get unstuck from unhealthy behaviors and begin moving forward is to let the Lord be our confidence. So often, we look to outside sources, and use "mind over matter" mentalities to break the cycle of bad eating habits (or otherwise.) We find ourselves saying things like, "I have to stay away from the candy today. I have to say NO to the cake at the party." It gets confusing, because for a short time, this strategy works. Why is that? The answer is because, our mind can overcome our flesh temporarily, but only GOD can change our minds for good. Don't get caught, allowing satan to make you think that you control this journey, and that you need to control your eating habits. First of all, that's a lie. And secondly, that is way too much pressure for you. God wants to take the pressure off, and forever keep you from being caught. As you approach this day with a fresh new perspective, remember to invite the Lord on the journey right now! And know this; He WILL will keep you from getting caught up in the unhealthy eating behaviors of your past, when you find your confidence in Him!
Let's pray.
Dear God,
I have been stuck in a cycle for far too long. Trying to change my eating habits on my own. Thinking I had to motivate myself, and control my bad habits. What a relief to know that YOU and You alone are the One in control of my life. God, I give You full control today. I thank you for being my confidence, keeping me from getting caught up in the strongholds of food, and weight again. I may not be where I want to be, but I will never go back to where I came from! I praise You for Your work in my life.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen
E4M DAILY STRATEGY
Don't Get Caught
Where are you "caught" in health and wellness? Believing that you have to control the situation, and forgetting to invite God in to take control?
Think about the following scenarios:
1. Mid-morning break time: Are you getting caught between mid-morning? Forgetting to ask God to help you make good choices in between breakfast and lunch? Clearly a time of day when mindless eating takes place to pass the time until lunch, or get through the boring work meeting. Invite God in to take control!
2. Time for Take-out: Are you getting "caught" or blind-sided by the co-workers who want to grab take-out today? Be sure to communicate with God and ask Him to help you stay strong at lunch time!
3. Mid-afternoon blues: Are you getting caught day dreaming in the middle of the day and looking for a quick "pick me up?" If you find yourself saying, "I need caffeine and chocolate to get t through this afternoon," that might be a sign that you are getting caught not asking God for help. Try "I need Jesus and my journal next time" and watch God come to your rescue!
4. Late Night Trap: Are you getting caught at the end of the day? It's been too long, too stressful, and too much to think about. Please don't get caught eating your emotions here. This is a pivotal time for you to take your cares and concerns to the Lord, for He cares for you!
Don't get caught today! Take God on the journey, and He will ALWAYS make a way!
