Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. We have to figure out how to treat our temple and glorify Him with our bodies. I glorify Him by giving sermons and speeches and playing with my kids. He is using my body as a vehicle to get things done.

I clean my house when people come over. With 5 kids, our place gets dirty and we’re not about to have people coming in and seeing a mess.

After my football career, I wasn’t taking care of myself. I wasn’t thinking about the food I was eating. I was lacking energy and I even though I wanted to tell people how they should live, I wasn’t in the position to. I was focused on getting a bunch of things done but not focused on what I was doing to myself.

How often do we think about food? This isn’t a conversation people have a lot. People talk about doing everything but eating healthy. We prioritize the taste and the flavors over the purpose. Instead of taking in healthy foods that will do good to our bodies, we look for the foods that taste better even if they are not helping us in the long run.

I want Him to be able to use me as a vehicle without it breaking down. When we have things to do, we need a reliable vehicle. But are we taking care of it? If we’re not, how can we expect it to run when we need it to?

Just because God doesn’t frown on something doesn’t mean it’s a benefit to you. You need the energy to go where God is taking you and what you put in your body gives you that energy!

Be steadfast, unmovable, always abound in the work of the Lord and know that it will not go in vain!
