Gospel Highlights

A good Christian weight loss program should help you cultivate an unshakable faith in God through studying encouraging scriptures. The definition of faith is confidence that God keeps His promises. With that confidence, we can walk according to those promises. For example, here is a promise to claim regarding health that should encourage you:

Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

Jeremiah 33:6 (NKJV)

God never fails; He always keeps his promises; He knows the future; He is rich in love, wisdom, and righteousness. And best of all, He always knows the way so you can go to him, even when you are feeling lost. His word says that he is not a man that he should lie. If he said it, he will do it; if he spoke it, he will make it good!

The main thing that keeps us from having an unshakable faith in God is 'pride'. We adults can sometimes be like two year olds, stubbornly doing the same things over and over, even though our actions are leading us down destructive paths. One author rightly said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing, but expecting a different result.

Even though we might be in pain, we resist submitting to God because we'd rather have the pseudo-satisfaction of saying, "At least I'm doing it My Way."

But you are ultimately a winner when you realize that your way doesn't work and decide to do things "His Way" through seeking Godly wisdom. You gain faith, peace and security when you do things His way. That is the ultimate spoil of victory.
