Hey!

Welcome to the Total Stewardship mini-course, where we will focus on clean-eating, moderate exercise, and of course, the Word of God! I'm so happy you've decided to take this step to become a better steward of your health!

Today's scripture focus is 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."

Pastor Rick Warren compares neglecting our bodies to vandalizing churches. Wouldn't we be outraged to come across someone as they are vandalizing a church? And yet we do the same thing to our physical temples without even realizing it. But the good news is, once you become aware of what you are doing, you can do something to change it! And that's exactly what we will be doing throughout this mini-course!

Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, thank you for my body. Help me to recognize that my body is your temple, and to treat it with the reverence it deserves. I acknowledge that my body is a gift from you, and choose today to take better care of it as an act of gratitude and stewardship.
