Fit for My King Part 2

     "Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper 

and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." 

3 John 2 NASB

This section is about experiencing Good Health.  Sheri Rose has some interesting comments to make about good health.  But it also comes back to advertising.  In the past few weeks I have shown my food technology classes that what is advertised (such as a hamburger) is not always the way you will get that food to eat.  The tricks of the trade to make it look appealing and appertizing to eat are very different to the real deal.

With being a Christian we have to be the real deal.  As the saying goes you maybe the only bible someone reads.  What has that got to do with eating and health?

Well your the advertising,  God wants you to present yourself in the best possible light.  He wants to use you in his work of salvation. To do that; it's important to take care of your body by observing your intake of nutritional foods, and level of fitness and getting good rest.  Sheri outlines the following as a desire we all have:-

1. Can you envision what God's people could accomplish here on earth if the body of Christ had more energy and clear minds.  We would be more involved with church activities and help in the community at a wider level.
2. Even better we could remember the sermons we hear each week better.
3. Also how much money would be save on medical bills and health insurance to use in other areas of our lives and God's work. (p.18)

God knows our limitations  as Sheri put it he borrowed an "earthly body" plus he also designed it in the first place.  He also has given us instructions in the bible on how to work live and nourish it.  Plus he has cared for our mental state as well with giving us hope and promises of his love and protection.

So with Sheri let us pray
"I am ready to receive from You the gift of good health.  I want my soul to prosper, and I want to walk in victory over sickness and exhaustion.  I want to commit the rebuilding of my body for Your glory, not mine. Amen."
