Here is some additional encouragement for your journey of Craving God More!

Empowered Part 2

Psalm 131

My heart is not proud, LORD,
my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
or things too wonderful for me.
But I have calmed and quieted myself,
I am like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child I am content.

The following are notes from the

Dr Ski Chilton gave some wonderful tips to empower us!

1. Women should get 25 Grams of Fiber daily. Fiber tells you your full and allows you to lose weight.
2. Drinking 16oz of water at the start of the day will help you to consume fewer calories.
3. Be Empowered by God to make better choices.

Instead of focusing on the scale, on food (or whatever your struggle may be), and the harships of sacrifice - Focus On...

1. Our goal should be letting the peace of God rule in us.
Are You At Peace?
Isaiah 26:3
You will keep in perfect peace him/her whose mind is steadfast,
because he/she trusts in you.

2. Our desire should be to honor God with our bodies.
How did you honor God this week?
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?
You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your bodies.

3. Our perspective should be to fill our soul with an abundance of Truth instead of our stomach (hearts & minds) with an abundance of food (junk).
What truths were you filled with this week?
John 8:32
And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free!

If we want to grow closer to God, we have to distance ourselves from the distractions holding us back. Part of that distancing process is focusing and magnifying God more & more...especially in our times of accountability.

Grab your pens, highlighters, journals and Made To Crave books and a Bible...

Pray and get ready to be Empowered!!
