Maintaining your body is also a priority.

"Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil.
This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones."

Proverbs 3:7-8

A famous doctor once said, "It is easier to maintain good health than it is to try to regain your health once you've lost it." So please make taking care of your body also a priority, and do not allow yourself to fall off the edge of health. If you want to be used for by God here on this earth, you should maintain your instrument. Though God is in complete control, you have the responsibility to take care of your body daily. Eating in an unhealthy manner may or may not be a sin, but it is certainly at least a bad idea because God wants you to keep your holy temple clean for Him and His use. Instead of relying on your own wisdom, listen to God and follow His call to keep yourself healthy.

A sound Christian is the one with sound spirit and a sound body.

A Prayer for Today
God, thank You that You care so much about my spiritual and my physical health. I ask today for the commitment I need to be at my best for You in every area of my life.
In Jesus' Name. Amen.

[ Reference Scripture ]

Psalm 16:7-10
7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the LORD always before me.
Because he is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
10 because you will not abandon me to the grave,
nor will you let your Holy One see decay.

Proverbs 4:20-22
20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man's whole body.
