Devotions for Dieters
A 365-Day Guide to a Lighter You

February 26

1 John 5:4
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

The greatest enemy we face as we diet is not food, or the gnawing hunger we endure. No, the greatest enemy we face is the lack of faith we have in ourselves. When the going gets tough, our tendency is to throw up our hands in surrender. That cannot be allowed to happen. As faithful people, we are tied to a special power that comes from beyond us. We are recipients of the holy power of God. That same power raised Christ from the dead and enabled Him to overcome every temptation that this world could throw at Him. With that kind of power, how can we fail at anything we do?

Today's thought: To diet means to do it!

I am glad this didn't come any sooner.....I could have used it so I wouldn't :tool: have done that so much, but I was so stressed (and not realizing it) I didn't read these posts for a few days. This statement is true--very true. Why is it that when God puts a task before us, and we know it is what He wants us to do, do we not have faith that He will be right there with us - to see it is finished? Why do we have so little faith in His goals for us? I know these are age old questions, but every once in awhile they raise their ugly head in mine.
