Day 6 Made To Crave

Devotional

One of the most effective accountability measures has been mutually tracking progress with friends

Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits-who forgives all your sins and heals all your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s, The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.  Psalms 103:1-6

 

Chapter 5

Made for More

We were made for more than this.

We were made for victory. Sometimes we just have to find our way to that truth.

The truth of who we are and the power to live out that truth-that’s what we need.

Be Persistent

We need to ask God’s wisdom, revelation, and intervening power to be an integral part of our food choices from now on.

I need to eat to live, not live to eat.

Embrace a True Identity

We are made for more because we are children of God.

The truth of my identity as a child of God empowers me to believe that living in victory tastes sweeter than an unhealthy delicacy.

Live in the reality of who my glorious heavenly Father says I am:

• The forgiven child of God
• The set free child of God
• The accepted child of God
• The holy child of God
• The made-new child of God
• The close child of God
• The confident child of God
• The victorious child of God

Find the Deeper Reason

The real reason for grounding ourselves in the truth that we are made for more is “so we may know him better”.

The more we operate in the truth of who we are and the reality that we were made for more, the closer to God we’ll become.

Discover a Hope and Power Like No Other

It is crucial to have hope and a power beyond ourselves.

We were made for more than excuses and vicious cycles
