October 18


Psalm 68:35 - NLT
God is awesome in his sanctuary.  The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people.  Praise be to God!

Theo knew the power of God. He had seen it in the birth of his daughter. He had felt it when his father had died. He had witnessed it many times in the glorious creation of nature. Theo had no doubt about the power of God. He had worked in forestry for his entire life. He had flown through thunderstorms where lightning splintered huge trees and set forests blazing. The power of God was both a wonderful and a terrifying thing. Theo had no doubt that there was nothing beyond the power of God. The God of all creation could handle his diet. He had no question in his mind. Strength such as God's was a good thing to have on his side!

Today's Thought: With God on my side, my fat doesn't stand a chance!

*************

Today's Tip:  Make realistic goals and make a diet plan. Confide in a close friend or companion about your goals and the coming changes of your lifestyles. Whenever you reach a goal treat yourself. Buy a CD, an outfit, go to the movies... just don't treat yourself with food, important in any diet plan.
