The Wellness Revelation 21-Day Journey

DAY 9 OF 21

Live Out His Purpose For You

LOVE AND ENERGY: THE ABILITY TO DO WORK

Besides centering your identity and work on God, what is needed to complete the work? Energy!

Food is the fuel that produces the physical energy we need to do our work.

Just as God has a plan and a purpose for us, He also has a plan when it comes to food, drink, and nourishment for our bodies and souls. Food gives us the energy to do His work – the work of loving and living well.

Mercifully, God’s part is to do the work in and through us. Our job is to care for ourselves today by making choices for our health that will benefit us tomorrow.

Unfortunately, many of us have gotten used to being underfed in our quest for spiritual truth and overfed in our quest to satisfy physical hunger. We are slowly spiraling further and further into darkness, lies, and bondage.

While God has given us everything for our enjoyment, we must be wise in our choices – including what we eat and drink. When it comes to our physical bodies – bones, hearts, lungs, and brains – it is of utmost importance that we figure out what fuels us best to love.

Wherever we work, we also rest. Tomorrow, we’ll dig into what it looks like to rest in God’s strength and sufficiency instead of our own. We are often told that weight loss is a matter of pushing harder and doing more, but that isn’t God’s way. Keep going, friend!

Reflect:

What fuels you best to love?

About this Plan

The Wellness Revelation 21-Day Journey

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.
