During the holiday season, rediscover your wonder.
Health is not complicated. If you had to write a list of behaviors, you needed to do to be healthy you would get a correct list. Yet I find it difficult to do what I know. I am like the Apostle Paul that which I know to do, I do not do.
I am old enough that I realize will-power alone will not work. On will- power, I will not eat healthy and exercise regularly. On willpower alone, I will not make fasting a consistent spiritual discipline. On will- power alone, I will not live the habits of health.
The good news you are not alone! God never meant for you to live on your own willpower.
When you were saved God placed the Holy Spirit in you. The Holy Spirit is working in you so you can progressively become the person God called you to be. He is producing the character of God in you. One of the characteristics God is producing in you is self-control. Self-control is different than will- power. Will power is something you work up, self-control is something God produces in you. I need more self-control in my life.
How is self-control produced in your life?
Spend more time with Jesus. As I sit in His presence I am being transformed into His image. Prayer is fellowship, communion, developing the relationship. When you spend time with Jesus, something takes place inside of you. As you spend time with Him, you become like Him.
Your health, effectiveness, fruitfulness, and character does not depend solely upon you. It takes your cooperation, but the Holy Spirit is at work in you today to make you more like Him.
As we enter the holiday season, spend extravagant time with Jesus. Focus on loving Him more. Be His child. During the holidays rediscover your wonder.
