Embrace God’s Purpose, Desire, and Design
GOD’S STRENGTH OVER YOUR STRIVING
Let’s lay down our expectations for our body shape and size as we learn God’s good purpose, desire, and plan for our bodies. In case you didn’t know, His purpose doesn’t include a specific jeans size or meal plan. God’s purpose, desire, and design for our bodies are better than we can ask or imagine.
Guess what? It all starts with God’s power and ability. We are to do all things in His power and in His way, not in our own. This includes weight loss and health gains.
His power strengthens us. What a relief! This means we are not on our own. Since His purpose is to show us His power and strengthen us through that power, we do not navigate our own course. To those who don’t know God, this sounds like foolish talk. After all, we have a hard time relinquishing control. We grew up thinking that our goal in life was to become self-sufficient, productive members of society.
As we embark on a journey to better health, it’s tempting to tell ourselves that we just need to suck it up and be more disciplined, that weight loss and healthy habits are things we just need to “do.”
Before we begin beating ourselves up, though, let’s ask, is it possible that our choices - good or bad - could be a small part of a bigger plan that God can use for our ultimate good? Maybe these weight loss, health, and body concerns are issues God can use to get our attention and gain our affection.
For The Wellness Revelation to really transform our lives, we must soften our hearts. We need to remember our stories: where we come from and what God has already done for us. He has guided us every step of the way, planting and growing in us His purpose, His power, and His strength.
God wants to remove the burden you carry when you think that everything hinges on your might and that the “win, lose, or tie” is all within your control. It’s just not true.
God desires to be your strength in all things.
Will you let Him?
Reflect:
Read Ephesians 3:20. What is God able to do? Describe a time in your life when you allowed God to be your power and strength. What was the outcome? How did that compare to a time when you didn’t allow God to be your strength?

Adapted from an eight-week faith and fitness Bible study written by Alisa Keeton, The Wellness Revelation 21-Day Journey offers daily devotions on eight topics essential to true and lasting weight loss – wellness that isn’t just focused on what you eat or how many pounds you weigh, but the “weight” that keeps you from living an abundant life in Christ.
