Our sin nature craves a life of ease where exercise, discretion with financial choices and even eating choices are not necessary. We prefer leisure, indulgence, and revelry. Our natural self wants to avoid the rigors of discipline, submission and holy living.
Let's face it, we may not change ourselves. The natural man in us is strong and seeks to keep us in bondage. We need help, not from a trainer or a financial advisor, but from a supernatural source. If you are not a believer living in faith, you cannot know this power. But for believers who have the Spirit of God residing in them we have a source of power that is greater than the natural man. We have power to be disciplined, wise and holy. We have God 'a power at work in us.
If your resolutions have fallen flat, give up and lay your desires at the foot of the cross and pray that God will have His perfect way in you. Apply yourself to getting closer to him by reading and memorizing scripture. Work to be faithful in applying His word. I believer you will see God show up and do amazing things in your life; God's word says so.
Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Keep your focus right and everything else falls into place. Where you can't do it, God can.
