(Genesis 9:3)

***DAILY PERSONAL PRAYER FOR YOU: Dear Lord, I cry out to You today. I have no place to turn but to You. My life is Yours. Do with it as You will and I will obediently serve You with my very last breath. IN the name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ..AMEN!

***THE DAILY LIVEPRAYER TV NUGGET: How about good news! During 2020, Planned Parenthood lost 400,000 donors and $39.5 million in donations. That is a 27% drop. Trust me, my tears are of joy not sorrow! I have always wondered what motivates a person, who can give their money to help polar bears, abused dogs and cars, the rain forest, cancer research, a children’s hospital, dare I say LIVEPRAYER, to give a donation to an organization that slaughters little babies! The sick thing is, if there was an organization that slaughtered kittens, THESE SAME PEOPLE WOULD GO BALLISTIC…AND RIGHTLY SO!!! While praying for ruin to come upon their finances is an immediate “prayer of the flesh,” pray with ! me for the Lord
to change their heart as He obviously did to 400,000 donors this past year!!!!

The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” Matthew 26:41 (NIV)

God, in His infinite wisdom, gave His children everything needed to sustain this life. I have always maintained that the Bible contains everything we need for every aspect of our life. That includes what we eat. In the study I have done in regard to Biblical diets, I have to admit that the dietary laws found in the book of Leviticus are perfect for sustaining our bodies and health throughout this life. God made us, He should know best what it takes to run these human machines we use during this! lifetime.

Now,
I have to be the first to admit that I DO NOT eat according to the dietary laws found in the book of Leviticus. I don?t see a trip through the McDonald’s drive-thru, drinking a liter of Coke to wash down hot dogs and pizza, or even a pint of Haagen Daze ice cream anywhere in the Bible. I have made up my mind to do better. God has blessed me with great health throughout my life. I have been able to eat whatever I wanted whenever I wanted and never worry about gaining weight. I have just been blessed. That still gives me no excuse for abusing my temple the way I do and not taking the proper care of it that I should.

As you know from reading these Devotionals, our purpose in this life is to serve and glorify God. Only God knows when our work here is over and we graduate to Heaven. So it is our responsibility during this life to maintain to the best of our ability our bodies, so that we are at maximum efficiency in our ability to serve the Lord. That means getting the prop! er
exercise, and eating the right foods. There is enough research on the books to tell us that how we feel each day, our immune system, many infirmities we get, even major diseases can be greatly affected and influenced by our diet.

That being the case, it is then incumbent on us to research and discipline our eating habits so that we are putting into our bodies the best things possible. It is amazing how much more we can accomplish each day when we feel good, when we have energy. It becomes our responsibility to be the best we possibly can each day to serve God, and that means eating the things that will keep our bodies healthy and strong.

I really do love you and care about you. I have been involved long enough in the nutritional world through my study of the Word, to know that it does make a big difference what we put into our bodies each day. I received so many wonderful emails after my Devotional on Gluttony before last Christmas, thanking me for talking about ! something
that is clearly defined as sin in the Word, yet seldom discussed. While I do my best each day to prepare you and try to encourage you to be the best servant of God you possibly can be, today it has been necessary to point out an obvious but often overlooked aspect of our service.

It is difficult for God to use us when we are always tired, when we are always sick, when we have neglected ourselves to the point we have trouble just getting around each day. I want to challenge you today to pray about this part of your life and ask God to help you to have the discipline to take control over your Temple. Ask Him to give you the discipline to exercise regularly and to eat the right things so that you are in the best health possible. I will be praying for you.

In closing, I have done much research in this area and have tried my best to help give you a push in the right direction. Now it is up to you. If you have prayed about this, and know God is calling you to take cont! rol over
this aspect of your life, then NOW is the time. TODAY is the day!!!

In His love and service,

Your friend and brother in Christ,
