Honor the Lord with Your Body

Today's Scripture

“You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:20, NIV)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Scripture says that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and we are to honor the Lord with our bodies. How do you do that? You take care of it. You respect it. You treat it as valuable. You use your body to bring Him glory. When you stand strong against temptation, you are honoring the Lord with your body. When you take care of yourself by eating properly and getting enough sleep, you are honoring the Lord with your body. You are saying, “Lord, thank You for this gift of life. I am choosing to take care of myself so that I can serve You with my whole heart, mind and strength.”

As we enter into the new year, many people make new goals about their health. Let this be an encouragement to you to stay on track with good habits. As you honor the Lord with your body, you will be strengthened and empowered by His peace. You’ll be able to stand against temptation and embrace the good things He has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today

Father, today I commit to honor You with my body. Thank You for the gift of life. Thank You for empowering me against temptation. Show me the plan You have for me today so that I can honor You in everything I do in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Was taught very early in life that my body was a vessel and that was why I rededicated my life to God at 18.

In recovery, I heard the 11th Step Prayer, and I realized that it is more than just my body if I want to be a clean, clear channel. It is body, mind, and spirit.
