Probably everyone has said “What IF?” several times in their life, if not daily. Some of my favorite “What IF?”s are “What if I was handsome, or had a lot of money, or had a girlfriend?” Though if I had the last one, I wouldn't need the first one. Or would I? But didn't Jesus say something about this kind of behavior and thought?
Mathew 6:34 “Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
Gen 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
Phil 4:19 “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus”
Kinda sounds like God wants us to rely on Him. Although a lot of people who read this will think “Well God isn't going to make me build muscle, or get fit, or this or that.” and that could very well be true. God isn't in control of what you put into your mouth, or how much you exercise. You have to make yourself do these things. But here is what I am saying. Don't go out and get plastic surgery, or start stealing, or not trusting in God for what you need, just so you can be good looking, or rich, or have what you want. It's not worth it at all. Jesus will supply our needs, and He will take care of tomorrow, and you are handsome/pretty. You were made in His image, and we shouldn't let the world tell us that we are ugly. If you don't like that your fat, or lazy, or this or that, fix it. Exercise, have some self discipline, etc. But don't go over board, starving yourself, plastic surgery, etc.
God loves YOU for YOU! He doesn't care if your thin and lean or big and strong. As long as you are serving Him. As for the money end of this, God will supply ALL of your needs according to HIS riches. Remember if your following God, He will put the desires on your heart and He will fulfill them. Trust in God,and do whats right, because its right, and do it right.
