October 12


John 1:12 - NLT
But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.

Corey had to admit that his friends were making better progress than he was. He just wasn't disciplined enough. His friends didn't seem to have nearly as much trouble with discipline. When he asked them why, they all just grinned and told him to pray about it. Finally, it dawned on him what they were talking about. Corey wasn't much of a Christian, but he wasn't stupid, either. His friends obviously had something he needed and wanted. If God could do so much to help them, then Corey believed He would do it for him, also. By receiving the truth of Christ, Corey was given all the strength needed to succeed in his diet.

Today's Thought: God is ready to help me lose weight!

Today's Tip:  Health and Diet
Which sounds more appealing: dried plums or prunes? Manufacturers have taken to calling the tasty prune (which had acquired an indisputable reputation as a digestive cure), the dried plum. It’s a terrific source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, magnesium, potassium, and antioxidants. Whatever you call them, they make a terrific on-the-go snack, mix-in for yogurt, or salad extra!
