The Temple

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. 1 Cor 6:19-20 (NASB)

There are many ways God has challenged our family to look more like Him in recent months. He has worked on our finances, our priorities, our perception of needs, our tendency to problem solve without consulting Him first, and so much more. We have a long, long way to go, but the last big stronghold to the next step seems to be honoring Him with our bodies. It's that age-old battle of weight and love for food, but it's so much more than that. It's surrendering to Him and making sure we honor Him with how we care for our bodies - not for our sake or our health, but for His glory.

So, I'm starting that exercise routine yet again, and I'm commiting to honor Him with my body. That is my challenge. Not a New Year's resolution or a diet - it is a challenge to honor Him. I covet your prayers!
