Body Talk
Yeah, okay, that's a line from an old song. But seriously, God invented our bodies. As such, His word has instructions as to diet and exercise. Which I researched* so that you don't have to. So, if you wanna get fit, let's get into it!
Since we're made in the image of God, like in Genisis 1, then our bodies represents something sacred, and should be respected like it. Which fights against that idea of "If it feels good, do it!" ** Not everything we can do should be done. Food, lifestyle, even sexuality. Intead, we should let the Holy Spirit guide our Liberty.
As far as exercise, it wasn't really much of a thing back then. So instead, I chose a passage about physical labor.*** Just like Corinthians says how our bodies are God's, Paul also said that folks who don't work shouldn't eat. Which makes sense, as food has to be earned. But this speaks to me of the importance of burning calories, stewarding physical gifts wisely. Because, frankly, it's how we're designed. So we should always be mindful.
Which really carries through to everything we do!+ If we focus our thoughts on the pure, true, and lovely, that also means our lives(Produced by mindset.) Will be healthy. So, whether you go old school kosher or not, the word of God is full of helpful examples and answers, to guide you towards being healthy.
And finally, as we embrace freedom in Christ, everything we do should glorify Him.**** Whether food, or fitness, or however you handle your business, honor
your creator and sustainer. Because life is just much better with His favor.
I hope that blessed you. For a little more, check out voiceintha on blogspot, facebook, X, and instagram Thanks!
