Every year I make a resolution to lose weight. Only to find myself 10 pounds heavier by the end of the year. And. I. want. to. cry. I feel defeated before I ever even start. This week I am focusing on this verse.
Isaiah 43:18-19a
Forget the former things; Do not dwell on the past. SEE, I am doing a NEW thing!
In the back of the book, Made to Crave, Lysa gives some Healthy Eating Go-To Scripts and I thought this one was appropriate for the start of a new year.
I was made for more than to be stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat.
“You have circled this mountain long enough. Now turn north.” Deuteronomy 2:3
How long have you circled this mountain of gaining and losing? Me? 20 years too long! Jesus never meant for us to be stuck in this cycle of defeat. He wants us to find freedom in him.
Ephesians 4:27 “Do not give the devil a foothold”
Lord, for too long I have given the devil a foothold. Please help me to stop offering him so many opportunities to bring defeat into my life. Your plan for me is VICTORY!
