October 20


1 Peter 5:10 - NLT
In his kindness God called you to his eternal glory by means of Jesus Christ.  After you have suffered a little while, he will restore support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.

Cliff felt content. He felt good about the diet. He knew it was time to do something, so it didn't feel like such a great struggle. He prayed for God's help, and he felt God's presence with him. Sure, there would be unpleasantness, as there was whenever a sacrifice was involved, but it would all be well worth it. The prospect of being healthy and trim was very appealing to him. Cliff had confidence that God would bless him with strength, courage, and peace. With that kind of assurance, how could he go wrong?

Today's Thought: If God will give me everything I really need, how can I help but lose weight?
