  • As the Holy Bible reminds us that our body is God's temple where His Spirit resides, that knowledge makes me believe that God wants us to care for the 'vessel' that our Lord has given us. As we grow in discernment and wisdom of God written in the Bible, we also has come to realize the importance of taking care of our health.

    1 Corinthians 6:19-20 

    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.

    The internet is full of ideas on how to take care of ourselves by the right nutritious food we eat. Just like feeding our souls with God's wisdom in His Word, as Christians, we can also feed our bodies with what God has created for us to eat.

    Proverbs 4:22 


      For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their whole body.

    I have also realized that as I grow in God's ways, my mind becomes fine-tuned to what my body requires in terms of making it as healthy as God requires of His temple. I've realized also that as I take care of my body, my mind and my heart are on the same page in my desire to always glorify God, even in small stuff. God has done so much in my life in ten years, going on eleven this month. He was there even before I've decided to follow Jesus; because looking back, God has made many instances in my life where I had to stop and pause and asked myself: "Was that the works of God?"

    1 Timothy 4:7-8 

      But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness; for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. 

    And as I keep my focus on God and His Son and the goodness in life of trusting God in all things- JOY always comes in the morning to keep me filled with peace, no matter what the world is feeding our minds.

     

    Proverbs 17:22 

      A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.

     Proverbs 13:12 — "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life."  

    __ Proverbs 13:17 — “A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a faithful ambassador brings health.”

     1 Corinthians 10:31  —  "Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."   

    Proverbs 12:25 — "Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad."
