“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) This scripture teaches that a believer’s body is a dwelling place for the Holy Spirit and, because the body belongs to God, it should be used to glorify Him. The body belongs to God means that our bodies are not our own to do with as we please, but are a gift from God, to be cared for and used to honor God. What a concept. Our bodies are God’s, and we are to honor God with our bodies! So, when I overeat and I consume sugar and more sugar, which causes my body harm. If this scripture is true, I am not honoring God. I am causing harm to my body and to me. For sugar in my body does not digest correctly. And while I am binging on sugar, I no longer have my thoughts upon the Lord, my focus is only myself and what I am eating. I believe this is true for everyone. For everyone does do things that can cause harm to their bodies. Such as overeating, undereating, consuming alcohol, doing drugs, not exercising, watching things that are inappropriate, sexual immorality. These things cause harm to our bodies. This implies a responsibility to treat our bodies with respect and to realize the value of our bodies. The dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. This requires a commitment to physical and mental well-being through healthy habits and mindful living. Today, let us begin honoring God through our bodies. Let our actions, our love of God, glorify God in all that we do. God Bless. Amen.
