1st Corinthians 6:19 says, "your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit." As I grasp that reality it becomes my personal goal to take care of my body. I love God. I love His Holy Spirit. I can honor Him by taking care of "His earthly house": my body.
Can you identify with any of the following?
- not getting enough sleep
- rarely exercising
- not eating a balanced diet
- eating too much
- not taking time to relax
Do you believe God wants you to take care of your body?
In which of the following areas do you need to set goals that will help you better care for yourself physically?
- eating
- sleeping
- exercising
- resting
Ignoring any of these areas can make you tense, irritable, and unable to tackle even little things. The longer these areas go unattended, the more your body, your emotions, and your mind will suffer.
1st Corinthians 6:20 says, "Glorify God in your body." That's not a suggestion from Him for when you have time: it's a command straight from Scripture to take care of your physical house! Women who exercise regularly, eat nutritiously, and get enough sleep are better equipped to deal with stress on a daily basis.
What is God revealing to you?

This is hitting me hard today. I'm not glorifying God in my body. I'm ruining my body and I need to make a change. Badly.
