I hear this all the time from clients: “Coach Brooke, I feel so much better! I’ve dropped four pant sizes, and I have more energy than I’ve had in years… but I’ve only lost twelve pounds on the scale.”
Here’s the truth: for those of us who struggle when we step on the scale and don’t see the number we were hoping for, it’s easy to feel discouraged. But Psalm 3:3 reminds us, “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.”
What a beautiful truth that God Himself is the lifter of our head. He doesn’t want us to define our worth by the number on the scale. Instead, He calls us to lift our heads and find our worth in Him, trusting the signs our bodies are giving us. So the next time you’re tempted to look down at the scale for confirmation of progress, lift your eyes to the One who brings true freedom and reminds you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
