Prayers and Praises

Prayers and Praises!!!  I pray you all are having a FABULOUS weekend!!! I pray you've made choices today that reflect that you are an investor and NOT a gambler!!!  I LOVED Mark Twain's quote, "The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not do." 

Your body is GOD'S house!!!   In 1 Corinthians 6:19, Paul tells us, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the HOLY SPIRIT, who is in you, whom you have received from GOD?  You are not your own, you were bought at  a price.  Therefore honor GOD with your bodies."

GOD takes HIS temple VERY seriously and so should we!!!  As we truly think about our bodies being HIS temple-  I mean REALLY think about it, it's a pretty humbling thought.  JESUS paid the price for us.  Many people think they have the right to do whatever they want with their own bodies.  Although they think this is freedom, they are really enslaved to their own desires.  When we become CHRISTIANS, the HOLY SPIRIT fills and lives in us.  Therefore, we no longer own our bodies.  "Bought at a price" refers to slaves purchased at auction.  Christ's death freed us from sin, but also obligates us to HIS service.  If you live in a building owned by someone else, you try not to violate the building's rules.  Because your body belongs to GOD, you must not violate HIS standards for living.

 As we reflect on this past week, is there something that is heavy on your heart that you would like us to pray with you about?  Please share any and all prayer requests you might have.  Has God answered your prayer or blessed you this past week?  We enjoy rejoicing with you and would love it if you shared those with us as well.

Be blessed and have a GREAT rest of your weekend!!
IN HIM,
Kendra
