TAKEN FOR GRANTED

DAY 29

Today, I just wanted to draw our attention to something we often take for granted. We can very easily become focused on two dimensions of our beings: spirit and soul that we neglect the body, which is the host of those two.

For a myriad of reasons, the exterior which is visible, is not weighted in the same manner as that which is not seen and so taking steps to be healthy encompassing eating right, exercise and adequate rest are ignored. We sometimes live as though our bodies were invincible: scratch proof, unbreakable and even pushing it, bullet proof. It is only in the absence of a fully functioning host that some realise they ought to have been a little kinder to themselves.

Some people intentionally expose themselves to dangerous situations with their choices, referring to it as a necessary rush of adrenaline. Beloved, here is a word of caution: your Spirit and Soul can only serve any real purpose when there is a body to host them. The absence of the latter makes you an illegal occupant in this earth.

Today therefore , I invite you to review   your choices and decisions, considering what percentage of all your efforts at life goes into ensuring your body is kept a fitting host. Not hosting just your spirit and soul, but the Spirit of God. So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV)
