DAILY BREAD WITH CHEF VANCE
Take Care of Your Temple
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit…?”
— 1 Corinthians 6:19
We spend so much time taking care of everything and everyone around us that sometimes we forget about the one body God gave us to carry us through this life.
You only get ONE.
Taking care of your body isn’t just about losing weight, looking good, or fitting into a certain size. It’s about honoring the vessel God gave you.
Drink the water.
Eat foods that nourish you.
Move your body while you still can.
Get some rest.
Go to the doctor.
Pay attention when your body speaks.
Protect your peace.
Laugh more.
Stress less.
And give yourself grace while you learn to do better.
Your body has carried you through heartbreak, childbirth, grief, long workdays, sleepless nights, sickness, celebrations, mistakes, victories, and seasons you thought you wouldn’t survive.
Treat it with kindness.
We cannot ask God for a long, abundant life while continuously neglecting the body that has to carry us there.
You don’t have to change everything overnight. Start with one better decision today, then another tomorrow. Small acts of care are still acts of gratitude.
Lord, help us become better stewards of our bodies. Give us discipline where we need it, wisdom to recognize what is harming us, and grace for the days we fall short. Teach us to care for ourselves without guilt and to remember that our health is a blessing worth protecting.
Your body is your temple.
Honor it. Nourish it. Move it. Rest it. Love it.
You only get one. ❤️
