"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body." -I Corinthians 6:19-20 (NASB)
One day when I picked my daughter up from kindergarten, we talked about her day at school. When I asked what she had done in gym class earlier that day, she told me she did a "cardio-respiratory workout". As my daughter is learning, taking care of your body is important. Caring for our body is not only important to being healthy for our lives now, it is also important to God!
Our bodies were created by God. As believers in God, our bodies are to be used to serve Him. There are times when we will be sick or injured and there may be times when our body doesn't function like we think it should. However, in all things we should try to care for our bodies as best as possible. We can turn a cardio-respiratory workout into an act of worship and preparation for serving God!
Worship God by caring for the body that He has given you and preparing to serve Him!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for creating and loving me. Help me to worship You as I care for my body and help me use my body to serve You. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
