God Made it so I Ate it

At my church, we went through a ten day heathy eating plan that I called “God Made it so I Ate it.” I was trying to encourage the church to be more healthy. I blogged about it along the way. Below is my blog from the last day. I really thought I should share with you what I learned. Enjoy!

Final Day ::: God Made it so I Ate it

Ok, we’re here! We ended the final day of ‘God Made it so I Ate It’ today at my house. We ended it in style! For Valentine’s we had a healthy balanced meal of fish, steak, asparagus, green beans, mushrooms, mexican squash, couscous, and rolls. It was awesome. Here is an overview of what I experienced and/or learned in the last ten days:

Risky Business

I hope you’ve had a GREAT week! Mine has been a wild ride. Speaking of wild ride let me ask you a question…. How is your RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD? How’s your FAITH? On a scale from ‘bored to tears’ to ‘wild ride’ where does yours fall? It seems that many people in our community are hovering somewhere around ‘bored to tears.’ Why is this? It’s because people aren’t really living a life of FAITH at all. You see, faith is deeply tied to risk. Without risk, there is not much faith. Risking things for God is at the heart of a real and exciting relationship with Christ.  

What are you risking for God? Are you risking your reputation? Your finances? Your life? Your future? Are you attempting anything for God right now that will FAIL if he does not come through? Or are you just trying to stay comfortable? If you’re trying to stay comfortable, you’re probably hovering near ‘bored to tears.’ Staying comfortable isn’t really faith at all. What you need is to exercise your faith. Step out on a limb for God. Take big risks for Him.
