“Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31
Reflection
Many people assume that because of God’s grace, they can live carelessly without considering the state of their bodies. Yet the Word of God makes it clear that while His grace covers our sins, our daily choices determine the strength and health of our earthly vessel. God has entrusted our bodies to us as temples of His Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19–20), and how we treat them reflects how much we honor Him.
What we eat, how we rest, and the activities we engage in all play a vital role in sustaining the body He has given us. Neglect, unhealthy habits, or careless living can lead to sicknesses that God never intended for us. Scripture reminds us: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” — Galatians 6:7
When we live wisely, we testify of God’s wisdom and strength to others. A healthy body glorifies the Lord and positions us to serve Him faithfully. Proverbs 3:7–8 assures us: “Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.”
Therefore, let every meal, every activity, and every choice concerning our well-being be offered to God as an act of worship. By doing so, we shine as examples of God’s glory—strong in body, spirit, and testimony.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gift of life and the body You have entrusted to me. Help me to honor You with my choices—in what I eat, how I rest, and how I live daily. Grant me wisdom to care for my body as Your temple, that I may be strong, healthy, and fit for every good work. May all that I do bring glory to Your holy name. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
