There is a conundrum with God’s people that needs to be addressed!
First, what is a conundrum? Ms. Siri says, “A confusing and difficult problem.”
As believers we strive to walk with and for our Heavenly Father. Most important, we fellowship with Him: We pray, study His Word and apply it to our lives.
There is one area in the lives of many saints I see we fall short on (me included): Being good stewards of the temple of God (our physical bodies). “What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” (I Corinthians 6:19).
We seem to take good care of our phones, cars, computers, homes, pets and other personal things more than we keep ourselves healthy for the Lord.
Too many of my brothers and sisters are having physical problems. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth” (III John 2). Our Father wants us and needs us to be in the best of health so we can live for Him. Do not let the evil one continue to deceive us in the area of nutrition and exercise.
The older I get, the more conscientious I am about my health and living a long purposeful life for my Heavenly Father.
I challenge you (and myself) to really survey what is a good diet for you and what exercises are best for your body. Then do what is necessary to take care of the physical vessel that the Father has given you to house the gift of holy spirit.
Being our best for the Father includes stewarding our physical body – It is never too late!
