All For Jesus ~ Part 2

Last week I wrote a post called "All For Jesus." Well this week I have been faced with practicing what I preach. I started working out yesterday for the first time in a long time and let me just say last night when I finished my workout I thought I was going to die! I actually at one point thought I didn't know if I really wanted to continue. But, as I was sitting there on my couch last night thinking about getting into a routine of working out and eating better, my mind took me to Romans 12:1 "...I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a holy and living sacrifice-the kind He will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him."

Now I don't think Paul was telling us all to go out and start exercising, but that thought led me to the reminder that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Jesus lives in me! So if for no other reason, I need to make this lifestyle change a priority and do it for Jesus! After all I want to be healthy and able to do ministry as long as he will allow me to. And really that's the greatest motivation anyone could have!
