It’s time to shed some pounds.
The Bible says to judge ourselves soberly rather than more highly than we should so I looked in the mirror and said, "Yes, it’s time."
But then I thought, do I want to lose weight just so that I look better and feel better about myself? Yeah, pretty much. But considering that losing weight isn’t evil but rather eating too much is wrong, there must be a way to glorify God through weight loss. So here’s my list of ways that I can glorify God by losing weight:
– Food has often been a god in my life. By eating less and when hungry I can remind myself that I am not a god to be pleased but rather that God is God.
– My body is called God’s temple. He has given it to me to take care of, therefore it’s important that I take good care of it.
– When I eat lots or the wrong things and am not active I get sluggish in thinking and work as well. By becoming more healthy, I will also be taking care of my mind.
