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~
