Enabling

Read 2 Kings 13-15

2 Kings 13:21 "And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet."

A buddy system can give strength to our dieting resolve. If we have somebody we can call on to encourage us, rejoice with us, or be accountable to, it can keep us on track.

It can also be frustrating if that person has more success than we do. If that person is losing weight faster or having an easier time sticking to a diet and exercise plan, we might be a little jealous.

But we can also keep things in perspective. Even if we feel like we are the enablers of another person’s success, we can rejoice in their greater success and still be proud of our own progress.
