Physical Health to God and why its Important?

What does physical health mean to our God and why? 

Because 1 Corinthians 6:13-20 says,Food was made for the stomach, and the stomach for food.” (This is true, though someday God will do away with both of them.) But you can’t say that our bodies were made for sexual immorality. They were made for the Lord, and the Lord cares about our bodies.And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead.Don’t you realize that your bodies are actually parts of Christ? Should a man take his body, which is part of Christ, and join it to a prostitute? Never! And don’t you realize that if a man joins himself to a prostitute, he becomes one body with her? For the Scriptures say, “The two are united into one.But the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. Run from sexual sin! No other sin so clearly affects the body as this one does. For sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

Although this mainly speaks about refraining from sexual immorality it also gives us a clear understanding that God takes care of our body because our bodies is his temple that is why we are to consider and take care of our physical health and take the proper ways to show him that we love him and we wanna take care of this body because its his temple.

Note1: Take a note of your daily routine

Exercise to maintain a healthy body

Step one is to take a note of the activities you are doing throughout the day that could impact your body positively and negatively, ask your self questions like, Do I have a healthy diet or do i need to eat more healthier, do i sleep 8 hours a day or am i forcing myself to stay up, and last do I exercise to keep and maintain a healthy body and if not what can I do to fit exercise into my schedule? Friend your body is very important to God and he wants us to take care of ourselves, now if your overweight don't be discouraged it isn't the end of you, its just a hurdle that you have to jump over and God WILL be with you through every inch of the way. Now this doesn't mean to never eat junk food ever again, sugar is good now and then it just means you gotta watch how much junk food you intake, if you wanna know how calories impact our body and how it can be good or bad you can check it out here

this would be a great resource for you to better understand and have the knowledge you need to know what calories can do for the body, And if you need more motivation have people that can push you to achieve your weight loss goals and inspire you to keep pushing and inspire you in Christ to not give up and achieve that healthy lifestyle you want, you can even download a app called MyFitnessPal and it is on Google Play and Itunes for free go check it out.

Note 2: Stay away from Toxins and Drugs

Cigarettes cause Lung cancer and can lead to Death

Not everyone has this problem but there are people that do if you do have this problem don't feel condemned its just a hurtle that you gotta leap over and you can do it through Christ Jesus.

The reason why this is the second is because cigarettes and other drugs do harm the body and because our bodies are filled with the Spirit of God we should avoid it or if you already have an addiction to it pray that God can take this addiction from you and take the steps to quit smoking.

Now alcohol is a different story due to the fact that drinking alcohol like wine does have some healing properties that's why Paul told timothy to not only drink water but drink wine for your stomach because of the frequent illnesses(1 Timothy 5:23) but this doesn't give anyone a license to get drunk either because the word of God also says, Don't be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,(Ephesians 5:18). So to sum it all up, anything that causes harm to our bodies will harm the Temple of God since we are the temple of God, so make sure to not let anything enter that will cause damage to the Lords temple.

Note 3: Acknowledge How God feels.

You know that feeling when you ask someone to do something because you love them so much and they do something different instead? Yeah it hurts doesn't it, and that's why this is the next one, when it comes to how God feels about certain stuff it will always be in his word and he will also give you a personal revelation about it. So set yourself aside and ask, how does God feel about my lifestyle does he approve of me eating this or smoking that or whatever the case may be just consider how he feels. When you love someone we always ask things like, how you feel about this or what would you like me to do for you, ask him God will never turn you away and he corrects those he loves. We all need correction and direction in our lives that's why he is called our Great Shepherd and our Master because he is willing to lead us and give us life and it more abundantly, it all starts with us wanting to receive it!

You are a child of the Most High God and he is with you i know and have faith that all things WILL work out for you and that if you struggle with any of these, God will help you jump over these hurdles and set you up with his blessing to overcome because you are a overcomer through God's son Jesus, keep pushing keep fighting and keep the faith and God bless you!!!

Now onto how God feels about our emotional and mental well being.
