Be encouraged friend. My note to self: Scriptures can motivate and encourage self-control, honoring one's body. You were bought at a price, you're not your own.
- 1 Corinthians 6:19–20: Reminds believers, the body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, encouraging stewardship and care for physical health. Would you let a real building deteriorate /dilapidate?
- 3 John 1:2: - a prayer for physical health to prosper just as the soul prospers. Tend to both. Cultivate with discipline. Persevere.
- Philippians 4:13: Christ provides the personal strength needed to overcome difficult habits.
- Galatians 5:22–23: Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit, useful for managing daily food choices and temptations.
- Proverbs 25:27: God meats needs & wants you satisfied in his Son. Avoid overindulgence. Go toward moderation and wise practices. Wisely apply the word.
- 1 Corinthians 10:31: All eating and drinking can be done for the glory of God through mindful choices.
