Day 5a

John 4:34, "My food", said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work."  Jesus was focused on earth to His Father's plan.  I pray that I can stay on target.  I pray that I can keep my eyes focused on eternity and the work God has for me.  May it be more important than food.  I pray that the earthly food I eat will be used as energy to accomplish His purpose.  That will be a good prayer before each meal.  Jesus, help me eat exactly what you want me too and this meal to have the energy to accomplish your purpose until I eat again.  Another cool thing is that we have the same power in us as followers of Christ that raised Christ from the dead.  That is POWER! Ephesians 1:19-21, "and his incomparably great power for us who believe.  That power is like the working of his mighty strength which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given not only in the present age but also in the one to come."  It is hard to imagine that we have that same power.  I ate more than I needed today.  I didn't gorge myself on food, but I could have had energy with less.  Jesus, continue to give me wisdom and endurance in this area.  No scale today.  Surprisingly, I did not crave it today.  Who knows what I will feel like tomorrow.  Help me to focus on today.
