5 Ways to Glorify God Through Better Physical Health

We spend a lot of time talking about our souls, but what about the skin we're in? Your body isn't a distraction from your spiritual life—it is the vehicle for it. If you are constantly exhausted, foggy-headed, or dealing with unmanaged illness, it is hard to show up for the people God has put in your path.

Here are five simple, practical ways to honor the Creator by taking care of His creation.

1. Move with Gratitude

Don't think of exercise as a punishment for what you ate. Think of it as a celebration of what your body can do. Even a simple walk is a chance to pray and notice the world. Movement keeps the "temple" strong.

2. Respect the Science of Medicine

God gave us brains to discover cures. Taking your blood pressure or diabetes medication isn't a "lack of faith." It is a responsible use of the tools God has provided through human discovery. Luke the Evangelist was a physician for a reason.

3. Eat for Fuel, Not Just Comfort

We all turn to food for comfort sometimes. But when we treat our bodies like a trash can, we aren't being good stewards. Choosing foods that nourish you is a way of saying "thank you" for the gift of health.

4. Prioritize Sabbath Rest

Your body needs to recover. Chronic stress is a silent killer. God modeled rest for us in the beginning. If you're using medication to manage stress or sleep, don't feel guilty. Use it to get back to a place of peace.

5. Be Prudent with Your Resources

Don't let the high cost of healthcare rob your family of their security. Being a good steward means finding ways to afford your care without breaking the bank. That's why we help people get their prescriptions for $40 a month. It’s about managing your "talents" wisely.
