Do you not know that your body is the temple (the very sanctuary) of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you, Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God? You are not your own, you were bought with a price [purchased with a preciousness and paid for, made His own]. So then, honor God and bring glory to Him in your body. - 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (AMPC)
Part 13 of 13
Invest in Your Physical Health
Scripture
Do you know that God is interested in every area of your life? The truth is He cares about every single thing that concerns you, and He wants every bit of you to be whole and healthy.
I haven’t always done a good job taking care of my body. There were many years when I worked all the time, and because I didn’t balance my schedule to get enough rest, exercise and eat properly, I felt terrible most of the time. It made me irritable and weary, and I didn’t enjoy life very much.
I’m so glad God was patient with me and helped me get on track with a healthier lifestyle. In the process, I had to do my part to get there. We have to understand we’re partners with God: we have a part and He has a part; He won’t do our part and we can’t do His part.

Tip
“No matter what shape you are in physically, it's never too late to improve and do some repair or maintenance on your temple.”
— Joyce Meyer
Study Suggestion
Start an exercise journal—a journal you can use to write down the things that you can do—exercise, drink water, get enough rest—to invest in your physical health daily.
