Good Morning!
More than likely, you fall into one of two camps:
- You need to start taking care of your body
- You need to continue taking care of your body
Only you can determine which camp you are in.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 – “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.”
While Paul is stressing to honor God with our bodies sexually, it’s just as important to honor God with our bodies physically. Our bodies are not our own. They were given to us by Him. They are a gift, and it’s vital to treat them this way.
When we work out, eat right and rest – it’s all honoring to our Father. And to be honest, many men have dismissed this area of life.
It’s time to take a firm stance on the fact that God wants us to steward what he has given us with excellence.
And excellence in fitness requires a plan and accountability.
What’s God saying to you this morning? How are you processing all of this? Are you excited to move forward? Or are you offended and frustrated? Share with your mentor, protégé, micro group or small group. If you’re flying solo on this challenge, then post your thoughts on A Men of Iron Community on Facebook.
With Gratitude,
The Men of Iron Team
