1 Corinthians 6:19-20 NIV — 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.

Today begins the first full week of 2025. Often as a new year begins we choose resolutions or goals to focus on in an effort to better ourselves. Many times our goals are related to losing weight or exercising more. We start off strong at the beginning of the year but rarely stick with our resolutions for the entire year. 

While it is always good to work to better ourselves, this year let’s approach our goals a little differently. This year, let’s ground our goals spiritually. Instead of choosing to lose weight and exercise for the earthly and material reasons, let’s focus on honoring God by caring for His temple. What can you do today to honor God with your body? How can you reflect Him in the food and exercise choices you make today?

Let’s pray. Dear God, thank You for the price You paid for me. May I stay grounded and focused on the sacrifice You made and may I honor You with the choices I make to care for my body. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
