Daily Sacrifice Rebellion

Ezekiel 18:30-32

"The upshot is this, Israel: I'll judge each of you according to the way you live. So turn around! Turn your backs on your rebellious living so that sin won't drag you down. Clean house. No more rebellions, please. Get a new heart! Get a new spirit! Why would you choose to die, Israel? I take no pleasure in anyone's death. Decree of God, the Master. "Make a clean break! Live!"

I must daily decide to sacrifice my rebellious spirit to do the right things. I had a difficult time getting into my workout this morning, and my body just wanted to go back to bed.

Getting up and doing my workout was the first step to forming a habit and teaching the rebellious spirit to go away. I only have to take this step 88 more times before the habit will be cemented into a routine.

Ezekiel 15:7-8
I am dead set against them. Even though at one time they got out of the fire charred, the fire's going to burn them up. When I take my stand against them, you'll realize that I am God. I'll turn this country into a wilderness because they've been faithless." (Your Beauty went to your head)

Has our beauty gone to our heads?
The United States was founded on Godly principles by men and women that sought after His will. God has poured about his abundance to us, and we have become fat, lazy, and complacent. Time and time again, complacency got the Israelite's into trouble, and it may become our demise as well.

The "Greatest Generation" got us out of the Great Depression through years of fighting difficult wars and decades of hard work. These men and women made the difficult costly decisions in the short term so that we could change our situation in the long term.

Can we really expect the entitled Nintendo generation to do the work necessary to turn this country around? This is my generation's mess, and we are responsible for cleaning it up.

The first step to becoming a leader of nations is to daily lead myself. My P90X journey is the first step in this process, and I hope that you consider starting a fitness and nutrition journey of your own.
