Genesis 48-49, Matthew 15:29-16:12, Psalms 20:1-9, Proverbs 4:20-27
What God said to me – People, even My children, spend so much more time on the physical than on the spiritual. You jump on the latest fad diet or exercise craze or things that are good for your heart health or brain health or things to make you look younger or fitter. Think about how much money you spend and how much time you spend working on or thinking about your physical appearance or health or bemoaning the fact that you are not thinner or stronger or healthier. Physical fitness and good health are not bad things. You need to take care of yourself, so you are able to minister as I direct and go where I call you, but don’t let appearance and health become such a focus of your life that you neglect the things that are truly important. Pay attention to My word and your time with Me. My word is the most important, life changing thing you can consume. You can transform your body into a temple of physical strength and health, but if My Spirit doesn’t transform your heart, it means nothing. Your body is going to decay and pass away, but your spiritual life is eternal – make that your focus.
