Your Body Is the Temple

While I was preparing my dinner my mind went to the scriptures of 1 Corinthians 6:19-20…

19. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?  20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which is God’s.

There is no question that there are a lot of people who have been stricken with sickness and diseases.  We see and hear about it everyday.  There are plenty of people in the gym with a new year resolution to be fit, but the question is has the mindset changed to make better eating choices?

As a Christian, I just don’t want to strive to have a healthy Spiritual life that glorifies God, but I want to glorify God by taking care of this temple He entrusted me with.  God created all things, yes……and we are to pray over our food…without question….BUT in moderation.

 We must understand that our body needs certain things to stay healthy.  For an example, if you don’t drink enough water, chances are your body will become dehydrated.  If you don’t get the right about of vitamin D, problems can occur.

You just can’t assume you can go exercise for 1 or 2 days a week with the same bad eating habits and expect different results.  It doesn’t work that way. We need to do just like we would do for our Spiritual man, and that is to make better choices to do what God requires.  We can’t continue doing what we have always been doing we have to change by following the guidelines that Christ has set for us.  When we do that we then see changes

Lean on the Holy Spirit to give you the focus and determination needed to do this.  He is ready and available to help.
