The Word of God Transforms ~ Sunday Devotion
“For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.” 1 Thessalonians 2:13 (NKJV)
Everybody likes a good transformation story.
I made it clear from the very beginning of sharing my story about finding freedom on my healthy living journey that you would not see pictures of bare midriffs here. Although I’ve helped women make physical transformations, their testimony is always something like “I’m getting closer to God.”
Why do they celebrate that, a spiritual transformation—a transformation you can’t necessarily see in a before and after picture—instead of increased fitness level, weight loss, reduced cholesterol, and balanced blood sugars? They’ve discovered that the secret to a sustainable healthy life is finding freedom in Christ.
Our lives, including our healthy lives, must be built on a foundation of faith.
Whatever changes you are attempting to make, seek God first. His Word transforms. Share on X
This space is not merely a place where I share a scripture here and there while selling you a diet plan. I’m here to share faith then fitness—faith-first fitness. It’s been like that from day one, and it will continue into 2026 with the primary focus of encouraging you to get your daily dose of Jesus, fresh air, and movement.
I lead with God’s Word because God’s Word transforms. When you allow His truth about you to sink in, you will live differently. You can pursue your health confidently and consistently and be free. You can still obtain those physical transformations, but they become merely a by-product of putting God first in all things.
I know as a faith-filled woman you want God to be first in your life. But you’ve been struggling so long in your body that it has consumed your thoughts and your energy. When you’re at odds with your body and how you feel in it, you’re ultimately at odds with your Creator. You have a hard time believing His word about you—believing things like, “You are fearfully and wonderfully made.” But God’s Word transforms.
Whatever changes you are attempting to make in your life, a habit you want to break or a goal you want to achieve, seek God first.
Allow His Word to motivate you toward that which He’s calling you. It may very well be a change that needs to take place physically, but until you allow His Word to penetrate your spirit, the physical changes won’t mean as much.
Action Step: Spend time in God’s Word. Find a scripture that speaks to your situation. Start working from the inside out.
