There is LOTS of interest in weight loss these days, as many people are packing on the pounds! It is not exclusive to particular countries, although, a few countries have become so laid back, and, have taken to the 'Net as a source of entertainment, not to mention the video games, entertaining electronics, home movie theaters, and, more!!!
Now, we all know, our bodies ARE the temple of *GOD*, and, that MODERATION is key to a healthy life! I have, recently, noticed that people compare this generation with the ancients who lived VERY long lives, and so, I have to point out something! These people had to WALK all the time, they ATE as *GOD*, who was always nearby, instructed them, and, they did not plop down to leisure activities which were not healthy for the body! They went to bed early, and, rose early; they were ACTIVE, in mind, body, and, spirit, and, did not have unhealthy conveniences of any sort to add to their weight! So, HOW can we compare to them, except that we DO have the same opportunities to remain healthy throughout our lives?!?!
I have been doing some research on FAITH diets, and, those geared by prayer, which, coupled with exercise, and, conscious effort, HAVE seen results for many people! I am aiming to find ways for us to AVOID extra weight in the first place, and, ways to rid of any extra we might have accumulated along the way, based on the HOLY instructions placed in our view by the LORD, our *GOD*, as ONLY HE KNOWS what is BEST for us!!
While losing weight is imperative for many in today's society, LEARNING HOW to live healthy is more imperative, especially when they are able to shed some excess! Thus, I see need for us to keep an ongoing, occasional series, dedicated to the devout, that we ARE aligning fully, body, mind, and, spirit, to the WORD, and, are encouraging the GRACE of *GOD* to allow us to exist long enough to do, or, finish our servitude to HIM!!!
Some Churches DENY their members the right to care about their physical state, as, they feel this need is egotistical, which, it COULD be, but, when HEALTH is the primary focus, despite the fact that the ego feeds into that state, it is not, generally, egocentric! So, to begin with, we must EXAMINE our intentions, to see whether we are seeking to shed excess weight, or, to healthy up, for egocentric purposes! IF we ARE, then, we need to spend some time in meditation, and, prayer with *GOD*, seeking HIS guidance!!!
*GOD* demands health of us, body, mind, and, spirit! HE wants us, and, needs us to be the BEST we can be, FOR HIM, and, HIS purposes for our lives! This is one of those statements which could be torn to shreds with opposition, and, yeah but's! Still, it is TRUTH, as, when we ARE IN OUR BEST FORM, body, mind, and, spirit, *GOD* IS GLORIFIED by all we do, as we are in the flow of HIS WILL being manifested through us! Think about this, and, you will see, to be active in your service to HIM, you MUST be the BEST person, wholly, otherwise, there are parts of your being which could trip you up, make you weak, distract you from your true intentions, and, so forth!!!
I can see that praying for *GOD'S* assistance is necessary to overcoming weight issues; after all, prayer is used for healing, and, becoming healthier IS healing! Also, when we pray with FAITH, we are BELIEVING to RECEIVE, which is positive mental affirmation, which means, besides KNOWING that *GOD* is there to aid us, our minds are geared towards overcoming that which is debilitating, hindering, and, ailing us! So, I have discovered quite a few prayers for those struggling to lose weight, get fit, and, so forth! Of course, I will be creating my own prayers for such, as, I believe in the most personal communion with *GOD* as is feasible!!!
I went for my first walk today, after a long, difficult Winter, and, I am feeling it! PRAISE *GOD* for the change in seasons! The trees are budded, the Earth is warming, robins are singing, and, bobbing along; I even saw a flying bug of some sort! Tomorrow is the FIRST day of SPRING, and, I am pumped! I am going to make the most of the warm seasons this year, because last year, and, the year before were awful, meaning, I did not get to enjoy them much due to many factors, including excessive heat, health issues, and, so forth, but, this year is a whole new year, with me bursting at the seams with POSITIVE BELIEF in *GOD*, self, and, the miracles co-existent in this life!!!
Stay tuned, more to come!!!
