Create Healthy Habits

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.—1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (NIV)
Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and it’s essential to honor God by maintaining your well-being. Embrace new, healthy habits that will lead you to a more balanced and fulfilling life. Remember, you are not alone in this journey; God is with you every step of the way. Trust in His guidance as you make these positive changes in your life.
Heavenly Father, help me make wise choices to improve my well-being and grant me the strength to persevere in this journey.

The Humility of a Servant

Then Samson prayed to the Lord, “Sovereign Lord, remember me. Please, God, strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.”—Judges 16:28 (NIV)
Samson, known for his incredible strength, faced times of vulnerability and dependence on God. It’s important to recognize that your true strength comes from God’s grace. When you embrace your weaknesses and rely on His power, you become a vessel for His divine work.
Heavenly Father, help me trust Your strength when I feel weak and remain humble as I serve You.

Think Good Thoughts

In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable.—Philippians 4:8 (GNT)
Norman Vincent Peale echoed the sentiment in the above Scripture when he wrote “We are either destroyed or made whole by the kind of thoughts we think.” What type of thoughts are you entertaining?
