Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
The reason why we should keep our bodies healthy has nothing to do with how long we live. Nothing. It has to do with how we live. On the one hand it is wrong to ignore our bodies. But it is also just as wrong to 'adore' our bodies. We need to see our bodies as we've never seen them before. Whether or not you ignore your body or adore your body is a spiritual issue. Your body belongs to God and you're to honor him in how you treat it.
When God looks at your body, He doesn't see what we see. When we look at someone else's body we're looking at flesh, blood, eyes, ears, noses and mouth, and feet and hands. That's not what God sees when he looks at your body. When God looks at your body, he sees a temple where He lives. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
