Transformation

I heard transformation 3 times today.

• We had a wonderful prayer time with the Lord before staff meeting at Crossroads today. Quiet time of prayer out on the grounds that are transforming before our eyes. Mountains are moving at our church. It is a site to behold.

• Worked out with my personal fitness trainer, Marianne Driscoll King. It was a great workout with weights and intervals of my new kettlebell. My body is being transformed. Yeah for friends who help us on our transformation journey.

• Shopped at one of my favorite thrift stores for work out clothes. I had to move to the mediums because the larges were too big. Thank you Jesus for this new me. I was a size 24, XXL girl just 6 years ago. When larges are too big, I get overwhelmed with the transformation that has happened to me. 

This week our focus at worship and in small group is getting rid of the baggage of guilt. I am so blessed by my sins being forgiven. Psalm 32:1-5 

YEAH, HE forgave the guilt of my sin!

The scale is one of my laws Romans 4:14-15

Scripture: Romans 4:14-15 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, 15 because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.

Observation:  No law means we do not realize we are making mistakes or sinning against God.  We need the law to help us understand the standard.

Application:   How coincidental, I read First Place 4 Health devotion today about the scale being one of our laws.   Without the scale, we do not know we are sinning when it comes to overeating and not exercising our body.  The law, the scale, needs to be something I use for the rest of my life to help me stay the course and stay on track with my wellness.   I wonder what other people need in their life as their law to stay the course.

Prayer:  Lord Almighty, help me to see you in the right light.  I have faith in you.   Yet I must have the law so that I know when I transgress.
