Be very careful!

think he got his quote from a mix of Romans 7, Gal. 6, and 1 Corinthians. Have you read your Bible today? This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too." They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win, Grandfather?" The Elder simply replied, "The one you feed."
What you feed the most, good or bad will take over you.

Confession for a Healthy Lifestyle

I CAN...I WILL because the Spirit of God is on my side.

I commit to live a healthy lifestyle this day. I prepare healthy foods for my family and myself. I treat my
body well and don't misuse it. My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.
Therefore, I come out from among foods that deplete my body of essential nutrients. I separate
myself unto God and I eat that which is good, healthy, and nutritional and that will provide the building
blocks to restore my body and bring me to the state of optimum health.
I exercise regularly and my body is strong, has excellent muscle tone and endurance. I
have entered into God's rest and have ceased from my own works. My life is balanced according to
God's perfect plan for me. I get sufficient rest, sleep, and recreation to rejuvenate myself regularly so
that I begin each week refreshed and ready for Kingdom building.

I keep my body under and do not allow my flesh to control me. I cancel all destructive cravings for
food and substances that threaten my health and well being. I speak to all junk food that comes into
my presence. I decree that you have no power to control my desires or my appetite. I am free from
bondage to unhealthy food products. I draw from the wisdom of God to direct me to prepare and shop
for healthy foods and to manage my time properly so I don't fall back into bad eating habits.

I command my body to obey me and my mind to focus on the image of health. I see myself with a
daily regimen and lifestyle that positions me for a high level of anointing and productivity to fulfill the
dream and vision God has placed in my heart. I walk in the spirit and do not fulfill the lusts of the
flesh.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

She is accountable

Let him labor, working with his hands what is good. (Eph. 4:28b)
We are all accountable for the things we say, both negative and positive words. Have you embraced the challenge to speak only positive things to your husband and to others about him? Here's a suggestion that touches the core of your husband's world.
Some women take their husband's career for granted, and they show it in many ways. Do you "dump" on your husband at the end of the workday, or do you strengthen and encourage him with your words? A wise wife will make her husband feel that she values and appreciates his work. Let him know that you are glad he is a hard worker. Take opportunities to praise his diligence and resourcefulness to others.
If your husband is out of work, unable to work, or refuses to work, you'll need to be more creative. Praise him for a character quality that you see in him that would be a vital part of a successful career—such as persistence, decisiveness, strength, an analytical mind, organizational skills, good with people, good listener, determination, etc.

Love makes her patient

Today's Challenge

Love suffers long, and is kind. (1 Cor. 13:4)
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19)
Love indeed suffers long and is kind. As you consider your Encouragement Challenge, determine today that you will not say anything negative to or about your husband. Speak kindly to him with words of genuine encouragement.
If your husband is considerate of your needs, let him know that you have noticed. Thank him for his kindness and consideration. Thank the Lord that your husband knows how to be both tough and tender.
Sometimes it's difficult for a man to be gentle, kind or tender—especially if he hasn't had role models in these areas. If he's not a considerate person, appeal to him for help without complaining. Let him know that it's hard for you to handle some things alone. Then, when he moves in to help, don't insist that he do it your way. Be glad that he is responding, and express your gratitude.
Ultimately, you can't expect your husband to make you feel more secure, loved, etc. Remember that only God can meet the deepest needs of your heart.

Serving Him through love

Today's Challenge

Through love serve one another. (Gal. 5:13b)
How did you do yesterday with your first day of blessing and encouraging your husband? Was it easy? Was it hard to hold your tongue when you wanted to say something negative? We hope you're off to a good start. (If you blew it, don't give up - start again today!) There are so many practical things you can praise, if you look for them.
Today, find some way that your husband is serving you or your family. Does he help around the house? Take care of the car? Fix things that are broken? If your budget allows, give him a new, small tool with a big bow attached. But make sure he doesn't think it's part of a "Honey Do" list!
Maybe your husband's not a handyman, but does he run errands for you? Let you go first? Take care of you when you are sick? Help you make decisions? Praise him for his willingness to serve others. Let him know that you see his unique service as a great strength.

She does him good

Today's Challenge

The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life. (Prov. 31:11-12)

 You can't say anything negative about your husband . . . to your husband . . . or to anyone else, about your husband.
 Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband . . . to your husband . . . and to someone else, about your husband!

To help you get started, have you ever thanked your husband for choosing you above all other women? He found you attractive as a person, and appreciated you. Though many circumstances in your marriage may have changed, let your husband know that you are glad God led you together, and that you want to be a blessing to him for the rest of your marriage. Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.
One of the best opportunities to express your gratitude is first thing in the morning. How do you greet your husband each morning? Is he confident in your love? Give him a "wake up call" that he'll never forget—a big "I love you" and an "I'm so glad I'm your wife!"
