Today begins our
40+ Day "Weight" Loss Journey
when we will
Lose a Pound a Day~
of those pesky pounds
that you just can't keep off.
The first pound to go is
You
and that begins with
Fasting from
Self~
because
Your "Self"
weighs you down.
Think about it~
When you & when I~
"Trust in and rely confidently on
Self
with all your heart & rely on your
Self's
insight or understanding and
In all your ways know & acknowledge & recognize
Self..."
is Your Self
"able to make your paths straight & smooth
[removing obstacles that block your way]? (Proverbs 3, Your "Self" Version)
Hmm when
Self
takes over it never ends well.
When things are going great,
My Self
likesto step in to mess things up
because you never know
when the other shoe was going to drop.
When things are going not so great,
My Self
likesto step in and feed the woe is me spirit.
How about you....
When things are going ___________ how does your Self try to take over?
Do you need a divorce from yourself?
I divorced myself long ago,
the day
Jesus
reached down and grabbed me out of the pit that I was in
because
Self
was getting in the way.
At the moment I grabbed His hand,
the divorce was final.
But...
Do I try to get Self back into my life?
Oh yes..all the time.
I think that She can convince me that I need Her
or I will be out of control .
She is part of my three persons~
Me, Myself and I.
But now I have another three persons
who replace my mine~
God
Jesus
Holy Spirit~
All that I need
Alimony for life
Do you need a divorce from yourself?
I know a great Judge who will do it for you &
He won’t even judge you.
Just look up & grab
His Hand
and
receive all that He has for you.
So let's fast from
Self
today..
Every time you start depending on
Me, Myself and I
Look up
and
Trust in and rely confidently on the Lord with all your heart And do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know and acknowledge and recognize Him, & He will make your paths straight and smooth [removing obstacles that block your way]. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord [with reverent awe and obedience] and turn [entirely] away from evil. It will be health to your body
[your marrow, your nerves, your sinews, your muscles—all your inner parts] And refreshment (physical well-being) to your bones.
Proverbs 3:5-8 (Amplified)
