Your physical body - The House You and God Live In by Ps Jim Jung

One of my favourite preachers and mentors in the world is Winkie Pratney. Here is an excerpt of his that I love:

"I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works and that my soul knows right well." (Psalm 139:14-15)

“David knew that his body was fashioned and shaped by the design of God. You and I are not the Maker; we only hold this temple in trust for our Owner. Your body is not the most important thing of your life, nor the whole of the real you. Yet it is still the most wonderful, astonishing mystery in all the Universe outside of God. It is the first thing people see when they meet you. You naturally want it to be choice.”

"Don't let someone else create your world for you, for when they do, they will always make it too small" (Ed Cole).

“How do you make the BEST OF WHAT YOU HAVE? No man or woman is the same. God made us all different. Because we are all unique, there is no one best way for everyone.” The bible says:

"Your eyes saw my substance, yet unfinished; and in Your book all my members were written which in continuance were fashioned when as yet there was none of them." (Psalm 139:16)

“Your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit is a home for the living Presence of God. His gift to each of us is our physical talent, our genetic potential. We all have a measure of genetic talent that we cannot change, some greater than others. Skills are the mechanics of how you use your body, say to run, jump, throw, kick or hit a ball. Although talent is a gift, you learn skills. PHYSICAL CONDITIONING and TRAINING improve those skills. Although your body is only a house for the real you, and physical exercise has limits, physical training will build your energy, increase your alertness, sense of dignity and self-worth. God wants you fit and well. It not only benefits your body, but your mind. The first component in bringing your body up to its Divine potential is to "discipline it for godliness." (I Corinthians 9:24-27)”

Your physical body is the house that both you and God live in.
