Psalm
69 • Jeremiah 22:13-23 • Romans 8:12-27 • John 6:41-51
I spend my work days focusing on
helping families make healthy lifestyle choices for themselves and their children.
It can be incredibly rewarding when they “get it” and so frustrating when so
many things get in the way and they are unable to improve their health. Their
focus is diverted or channeled into other life challenges. I completely
understand this as I reflect on how often we all choose things that may not be
the wisest choices for our health.
I am reminded that our physical
bodies, while important, are really only vessels of clay—we are dust and yet .
. . our bodies were made in the image of God and they house God’s spirit. We do
need to care for them in that context while on this earth. But more
importantly it is our spiritual body which will be re-born to eternal life.
What are you doing to care for your
spiritual body?
Heavenly Father, thank you for life,
for my physical body made in your image. Help me to use my talents to serve
you. May I reach out to you in this time of reflection to learn about my
spiritual self. Guide me as I seek you.
Blessings.
