Day 5

Today we will take this moment to define what our body is and why we should treat it right. 

1st Corinthians 6:19-20
Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, 20 for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.

Commentary:
God gives us the Holy Spirit and we carry it wherever we go. 
When I feel healthy it’s a lot easier to do the work of the ministry. 

Out of the 5 things that are focus points in The Full 40 program Rest (Sleep) is my biggest factor. It's a challenge for me to get rest, but when I do, everything else goes well. 
There have been times when I feel convicted by The Holy Spirit that I am not honoring God and following His instructions on Rest. 

Rest focus points:

• Each night honor God by going to bed early and removing distractions. (This is a great time to pray.)
• Plan a time each day to take a break. 
• The Sabbath is vital. (More on this in the days to come.)

Matthew 11:28-30 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 
Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 
For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Prayer:
Thank you for the cross. You bought me with your life. I want to live my life and honor You. 

I’m tired or being tired and weary. Help me to take better care of myself. -Amen.
