Watch your weight.
Yippy, it is December! Another year is almost over and many of us are happy to see the end of the year. The biggest difference between December and January is our view of diet. In December we don’t really worry about our weight – eat, drink and be merry.
In January all that changes and we work at losing all those extra kilos. On Facebook I recently read about a woman’s lifelong struggle to lose weight. In the end she actually gives up her battle with dieting. This was her plan B. “I have tried my whole life to lose weight. I give up. From now on I am rather going to put all my effort into getting taller.”
We live in a time when people give up. In fact we one day may be known as a generation of quitters.
We start with great enthusiasm and when the going gets tough, we give up.
At the start of this year we all had visions, goals and plans. With less than 30 days of the year left, don’t quit, complete what you started. 2 Cor 8:11 paraphrase, “Now finish the work you so eagerly started, and complete the picture.”
With God’s help and a few practical tips, nothing is impossible and quitting is not an option.
Think before you start, make sure you have what it takes to finish the job. Budget time and resources to the vision. Don’t lose sight of the goal and don’t lose your joy. Have a party when you reach the goals you set. Pray for God to help you at the start of every day.
PS. Don’t worry about your weight, work on getting taller?
