Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. — 1 Corinthians 10:31

Romans 6:13
Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God.

In thinking about this verse, I realize I failed again today. I ended the day with my bad habits of horrible eating and no exercising. I did, however, spend more time in prayer today then I usually do, so I guess that is progress and in the big picture, not necessarily failure.

As I studied by bible today, I realized that I need to change my focus on why I am wanting to travel this road. My post yesterday indicated that I wanted to do this for MYSELF, to be fit and healthy. This is not necessarily bad, but the important thing is that I allow God to work through me so that His Glory will shine through me and others may see the transformation He is doing in my life. I think that I like that scenario better because that ultimately quarantees that I won't fail unless I allow it to. I can't blame God for something I didn't allow (interesting concept, isn't it?)

You know, I like putting these two verses together because they are so tied to each other. Let's face it, I am doing this to the Glory of God, but on the other hand, "do not let you body become and instrument of evil to serve sin" is interesting. I give in to my fleshy desires to eat something that I am not supposed to because I "want" it. Gluttony is sinful and by allowing it, God will not be glorified through it, therefore, whatever I eat, drink or do, I must do it all to the glory of God.
