"You should know that your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit that you received from God and that lives in you. You don’t own yourselves. God paid a very high price to make you his. So honor God with your body."
-1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Hmmm. I thought I posted that as a reply to a post just a few spots up, about honoring God with our bodies. Sorry about that. But I'm still glad to be here!!!!! I would write stuff on my daily logs that I knew would look like foolishness to some but in the middle of all these verses from the Word, I am right at home!!!! Bless the LORD!!!!

Last night at exercise class I shared this scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:23 "Everything is permissible”—but not everything is beneficial. “Everything is permissible”—but not everything is constructive. In the context is is referring to sexual immorality. However, truly it can be applied to may facets in our lives. We have the choice to make good decisions or bad in all we do. Let us stay focused on good choices that please the creator. Praying we are all strong enough to make healthy choices!

Tonight at exercise class I plan to share this.
Psalm 46:9-11

He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
You may be thinking what, be still... in exercise class? How difficult is it to still your mind? To let it rest, to not be burdened by life and everything that goes with it. How difficult is it to focus on God and God alone? I want them to let everything else in life go for one hour and still their minds. Focus on the inspiring music, the laughter and joy of Christian friends and commune with God, yes all while exercising. Be still their minds while moving their bodies. Get away from work, school, chores, bills, phones, or whatever has them chained down, and just be still their mind to focus on the Almighty. The verse says, he makes wars cease, we are in a type of battle, either by trying to eat better, exercising more or to get healthier. But with God, He will break down what is holding us back, because He is with us. Exalt Him today!
Praises!

On the 1 Corinthians 10:23: Whoa Nelly!!! The context of that is not sexual morality, it is food. On morality the Word is very firm: sex outside of marriage is not for Christians, and is a great and wonderful blessing in it.

So sorry about messing that up completely and thank you for straitening it out a bet. I was also thinking of 1 Cor. 6:12-13 which has the same wording but refers to both food and immorality.
Anyway we need to make good choices! Ones that are pleasing to God, since we belong to Him.

Psalm 28:7
The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

Ephesians3: 16-20
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
