Today's Verse

Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Reflect: We are not our own. We are God's were made to love, honor and obey God. This verse ties in with my other mission which is weight loss. By not having a healthy temple, I am not allowing God to use my temple for his good. I received this verse in a devotional I get daily and there was some wise advise in there I want to add to my reflect:

We are to stay away from those things which defile our
body and lead to unrighteousness. Things like additions to
drug's and alcohol, sex, or gambling, etc.

Now for example, while the Bible doe not teach total
abstinence from alcohol, it does speak against drunkenness.
For it is written;

Hear, my son, and be wise; And
guide your heart in the way. Do not mix with
winebibbers, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;
For the drunkard and the glutton will come to
poverty, And drowsiness will clothe a man with
rags. ( Proverbs 23:19-21 ) For; Wine is a mocker,
strong drink is raging: and whosoever is
deceived thereby is not wise. ( Proverbs 20:1 )

When we love the Lord God with all our hearts, mind and soul, we should be giving him the best of all those. Thank you God for loving me so much and only wanting the very best for me. I vow to make my body, mind and spirit strong in you oh God! In Jesus name, Amen~

First Verse Colossians 3:15

Today's verse talks about peace! I think that his is perfect for my new start.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ( Colossians 3:15 )

Reflect: There are several things that I pray to God about regarding peace. In fact when I pray now, one of the first things I ask for is God's peace. I know that God is driving and I am only the passenger, if I give it to him, fully, I will be at peace. And there has been times where I have physically felt that peace come over me. Thank you God for always, no matter what, being there for me, thank you for the life you have laid out for me, thank you for you peace over my life. As I move forward in my journey, I pray for your peace over me with my weight struggles. I know that if I partner with you all things are possible. Thank you for your grace, in Jesus name, Amen.
