The Foundation Has Been Laid

“For He is good, for His mercy endures forever toward Israel.”
Ezra 3:11

Well, one thing is for sure.  We don't lay a foundation for something, and not expect to finish the project.  When a foundation is poured, we are confident that we are about to build something on that foundation.  And we are excited about it!  Why?  Because we have planned, prayed, and saved for this project.  And now we have laid the foundation. Friends, if we will fully embrace how this relates to our weight loss journey, this one truth, can I tell you we will be unstoppable.  Please, don't misunderstand me.  Just because a foundation has been poured, does not mean there won't be setbacks or hurdles to jump. Even the best laid plans come up against set backs and hurdles that must be assessed, and fixed before completion.  But the laying of the foundation does mean the project has been planned out to the point that it will be finished.  Hear me loud and clear today.  No matter the chaos around you, the foundation of your weight loss journey was poured.  And it will be finished!  If you have hit a plateau in your weight loss, come up against a season in which you are struggling to get back on track, or the situations of this world threaten to take you off track, do not fall for it.  These are tricks of satan, like no other.  He is well aware of the mighty warrior for Christ you are becoming.  Fear not friend, today is a new day.  The sun is shining on your weight loss journey, and the "weather" is perfect for you to get back to work.  Get your tools ready.  (Your water bottle, your food journal, and your Bible.)  Start praising God!  You've got a "temple" to rebuild, and the foundation has been laid!

Let's pray.
Dear God,
I am ready to get back to work.  The foundation has been laid, and I am excited to rebuild this temple that You reside in.  Help me today, to utilize the tools, and resources You have placed at my disposal.  God, as I go about my day, I promise to look for You in this journey, knowing You go before me to fight all my battles.  I praise Your Holy name, and I still know and believe that this will be the very last weight loss journey I ever go on!
In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ I pray,
Amen

Don't forget to incorporate the E4M Daily Strategy
The Foundation Has Been Laid
Below are aspects of our foundation that we need to be sure are in tact to build this healthy body God has called us to build.

1. God goes before me to fight my battles:  He is up ahead. He knows where the temptations are.  Communicate with Him, so that He can help you avoid the pitfalls of your day!
2. My help comes from the Lord; not a meal plan:  We need to eat right, yes.  But we cannot rely on the food to get us through temptations.  Only God can do that!
3. This is my life, this is who I am:  That is my foundation.  No longer do I diet.  I live a healthy lifestyle.
4.  I will honor God with my body:  What goes in my body should always honor God.

Build your life on these foundational truths, and the Lord will surely bless your weight loss journey.  The foundation has been laid!
