"Pace Setter"
Cynthia Davis ~ "Therefore, I urge you, brothers (and sisters!). In view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship." (NIV) - Romans 12:1
How wonderful it is to not only give thanks and praise; but prayers and supplications to God with the lifting up of holy hands and voices to our Lord! What a gift of grace our bodies are! God beautifully crafted each muscle, bone, ligament and tendon to perform needed functions of stability and balance. To offer back to God our well taken care of bodies that can run, skip, jump, and stretch; now that is an offering!
With our bodies, we reflect the goodness of God's mercy in creation. From the beginning, everything God made was good, and it still is!
My offering to God is to complete 100,000 steps every three weeks. Reading, praying, studying, meditating, preaching and teaching are good for my mind and spirit, but that leaves my body fruit-less. However you decide to honor God by being the healthiest you can, do it wisely and thoughtfully! Remember, you are a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God!
