Day 8 – Fit for Life Challenge

Good Morning! 😀☀️

Welcome to Day 8! My prayer for you this morning is that each one of you know you have been fearfully and wonderfully made and are loved just as you are! I pray you see yourself the way Christ sees you, and as a result, you will live to honor Him in all that you do. This includes caring for your body which is the temple of His Holy Spirit. I pray that you know that you are a child of a King!
1 Corinthians 10:31 says ,”Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God!”
This verse is talking about us as Christians doing everything to bring God glory in our lives.. to build up others and not offend new Christians. That as a Christian, everything we do matters because we are his representatives. We are supposed to be showing others what Christ is like, and to put the needs of others above ourself.
This has always been one of my life verses. This verse has gotten me through times in my life when I felt like what I was doing day in and day out didn’t matter that much in the scheme of things. We have four sons, and when they were all growing up, sometimes I felt like all I did was pick up the same toys over and over. I felt like I was just the cook, laundry lady, yard woman, or taxi driver. But this verse came to my mind so many times. Everything I was doing, I should be doing as unto the Lord and to glorify Him. When I would look at my seemingly mundane daily tasks in that way, it changed my perspective. I was so thankful to have those little guys to pick up after. Thankful that I had a family to do their laundry . Thankful for a home to care for… that in that stage of my life, they were looking to me to be a witness in everything I did to glorify God. That goes for every stage of our life, and in all we do. I have kept that little verse tucked away in my heart. It always puts things in perspective.
This same principle goes for how we care for our body, and what we put into it by what we eat and drink. I challenge you to pray today and tell the Lord you want to bring Him glory in all you do, even in the way you take care of the body He gave you to live your life in. Our bodies are truly amazing, miraculous creations! Honor Him today by giving your body the best care possible! Give it the best fuel to run on!

Continue to focus on eating and enjoying God-made foods! Try swapping out an unhealthy snack for a healthier option today. Besides this, today drink more water! Most people don’t drink enough water! Proper hydration is so vital to good health! A good rule of thumb is the 8×8 rule, 8 glasses of 8 oz water each day.. that’s about 4 water bottles full. Getting enough water keeps our body running properly in so many ways! Try drinking water instead of sugary drinks today as well! Stay hydrated friends! 😀
