Stewards of Our Body

Posted: 09 Jun 2009 07:34 AM PDT

Read and pray over 1 Corinthians 6:19, 20. What do these verses tell
us about how we use our bodies? What are practical ways we can put
these words into effect?

From this passage we understand that our bodies are the homes
of the Holy Spirit. These bodies have been bought, and purchased
with the precious blood of Jesus. Understanding the exorbitant cost
of redeeming us , we must recognize how precious we are in God's eyes.
Not only must we recognize how precious we are we must recognize that
we must honor him with our bodies. We honor him because His of love for
us in what He has done

Because of what Christ has done for us we should not live to ourselves
we should not do anything which would damage our bodies our keep
us from being effective for Him. It is important what we do with
our bodies because the Holy Spirit lives within us.

Take a good look at all your health habits, not just diet. What do
you need to improve on? What changes can and should you make?
What holds you back from doing what you know is right?

One thing that I see is very important for me is to maintain regularity
in eating and sleeping. I believe that as the body gets on a regular
pattern of eating and sleeping it will enable it to function better.

Prayer: Father thank your for what you have done for use. Please help us
to honor you in our bodies. Help us to remember that our bodies are the
temples of the Holy Spirit
