Sometimes, people eat a lot of portions and junk food when they are upset. Not to mention, the issue and sin of gluttony is very real.
You cannot afford to continually slip up. When trying to lose weight, you have to be extremely disciplined. In other words, it is not very disciplined. The lust of the flesh often includes: selfishness, lack of self-control, drunkenness, envy, wrath, etc. Ask yourself the question: if you were in better shape, could you have more opportunities to spread the gospel and do ministry? Galatians 5:16 “I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”īelieve it or not, this is not necessarily taking the verse out of context. When all of that happens, it becomes difficult for you to pour into other people’s lives and encourage them.
The Holy Spirit takes residence within you, thus you must give it a healthy place to be! If you are carrying too much extra weight around, it will be difficult to certain things, you might be more prone to depression, have loss of energy, and so forth. What a humbling realization you are not your own! Your body is not just about you. When this is on your mind, weight loss becomes much more meaningful.ġ Corinthians 6:19-20 “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.” So, you trying to lose weight is another potential area of your life in which you can glorify and worship Jesus. It may sound a bit funny, but the Bible says that all things should be done to the glory of God, not just some things. 1 Corinthians 10:31 “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”īefore everything else, you must understand that losing weight is not just about you-it’s about God.
