Worshipful Ways Wednesdays - Worship God: Physically

It might sound odd, but we can actually worship God physically.

How so?

Here are 3 ways I can think of worshiping God physically:

1 - Keep it healthy.

In 1 Corinthians 6:19, we are told that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Having that in mind, we should keep that temple strong and healthy for the Holy Spirit to live in. Maintaining good body health involves both exercising and eating healthy.

Now, does that mean we can never have a slice of chocolate cake? Absolutely not.

It does mean that we should be cautious of what goes into our bodies as well as how our bodies feels. Does it feel strong? Healthy? Energetic?

Keep your temple healthy and strong so the Lord can use you in miraculous ways!

2 - Pray using your body.

Worship God physically by raising your hands when you sing or pray. Get on your knees when you're home praying alone in your room. Dance in worship to God (either alone in your room, in church, or on stage in Jesus' name!)

Use your body to worship!

3 - Keep it holy.

If you're not married, don't have sex. I've been there. I know the struggle... it's real! But we are called to be abstinent from sex before we get married. Set boundaries. Talk to your boyfriend about your goals. Make sure you're not alone during tempting times.

My best friend and I set a boundary in college where we couldn't go on dates alone. We had to double date. That all came from both of us realizing that it's not a good idea for us to be alone in a car with a boy. No matter who he is.

Set boundaries, and keep your body holy in Jesus' name.
