Today's Focus: Health and Nutrition

In the story of Daniel, he and the three Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown in jail, but resolved not to eat the food and wine from the royal table. The four boys instead stayed true to their diet of vegetables and water, asking to be tested in ten days to see if they looked healthier and performed better than those who ate the king's food. We know how the story ends. While a vegetarian diet is not for everyone, setting a vision for better health and being mindful of the things you consume, not only helps you live longer and healthier lives, it is also a Godly practice. 1Corinthians 6:19-20 tells us that we are not our own, that we were bought with a price. It also encourages us to glorify God with our bodies. In 2013, resolve to eat better, exercise more, and maintain a peaceful mind and spirit. This will help you run the race God has set for you, glorifying Him each step of the way.

Today's Thought: My body is not my own, it was bought with a price.
