Here we go, day 2!
Today's theme is "You are not an accident".
"I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born." Isaiah 44:2
Question: I know that God uniquely created me. What areas of my personality, background, and physical appearance am I struggling to accept?
First thing that popped in my head were the words "physical appearance". Everyday we are bombarded by advertisements with clothes, exercise equipment, and pills that will "make us skinny". For me, it's my weight that I struggle with. Growing up I was a big guy. In the Bible, the Apostle Paul writes in his first letter to the Corinthians saying,
"Do you not know that you body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?" 1 Cor. 6:19
This is the body that God has given me, a temple for the Holy Spirit. Now it doesn't focus on weight, but also what you do to your body.
I've started working out at Anytime Fitness here in Chapin and I feel so much better when I leave (of course being a little sore as well) and I want to take better care of my body.
