Are you a good steward of your body and soul?
- God trusts you to care for your body and soul in a God-honoring way. You are not your own, 1Cor 6:12-20, Rom 6:11-16.
- Sin isn’t bad because God forbids it; God forbids sin because it’s bad for you, Gal 6:7-8.
- God doesn’t guarantee perfect health. In fact, God may use your physical limitations for His purposes, John 9:1-3, 2Cor 1:3-7.
- When it comes to diet and exercise, spiritual has priority over physical, 1Tim 4:8.
- At the same time, there are benefits in maintaining your physical body, 1Cor 10:31. A healthy diet and exercise:
- can provide the energy and stamina required to fulfill God’s plan for your life.
- can show God that you are being a good steward of the body He gave you.
- Consider blending spiritual and physical exercise. Pray as you walk, jog, stretch, or ride your bike.
