My body is a temple…

…and it’s high time I started treating it like it is. I say that to myself just about every week, even this morning as I turned into Wendy’s, mouth salivating for a biscuit and gravy. (Smack, smack and it sure was tasty!) So was that mango, pineapple smoothie I had to compliment it. Ugh, I’m killing myself with the lack of self-control. Or is it not self-control I’m lacking? Is it more a lack of desire? Fear that I’ll be missing out? The will to put in the time to eat right? It’s probably a little of all of those questions plus more. I’m not going to get deep with this. I know what I need to do, what I need to eat, how often I need to exercise, and so on, and so on and so on. My problem is doing it! So I got to thinking, what would make me follow a plan just a little bit more. What draws me to commit and see that commitment through? The desire to please God. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV reads as follows: Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. Now, if you read the preceding verses you will know a certain immorality is being discussed. I’m not going there and don’t judge me! One thing at a time and that’s between my sins and God! LBVS!!! But when I commit to the Lord, I do better. So, after I finish this leftover Chinese food for lunch, and cookies, and maybe a few more pieces of residual Easter candy, I will be treating my body as the temple it is. With regard to eating that is…like I said…baby steps. 😉
