Over the years, I have prayed, begged and bargained with God regarding the strategy for my life in the area of wellness. Shortcuts, rapid plans and new ventures have all continually been failing tools in my toolbox.
The Lord gave me strategy that includes daily prayer, walking, moderation in diet and rest. I, on the other hand have done high impact cardio (resulting in injuries), late night bingeing (resulting in weight gain and fatigue) and praying when it was convenient (resulting in inconsistent results)
The scripture says, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. They are plans for peace and not disaster, plans to give you a future filled with hope. (God's Word Translation)
If I believe that, why wouldn't I just trust and walk out God's plan?
Welp, that would be another post! But I'll say this...because I serve a God of grace, His plan is still valid! It has not expired! He is ready for me (AND YOU) to live in that place of peace designed for our life.
Because I refused to obey, I have been frustrated, unsuccessful in my efforts and have not made the impact in my wellness that God desires for my life.
Because I refused to obey, I must repent, turn from disobedience and submit to the cross.
Because I refused to obey, God has not fully released all that He has for me, because He HAS to trust me.
So what can I do now?
It's simple
Obey
Obey today, Obey tomorrow and watch God undergird me with His Holy Spirit.
It will have a great ending.
