Enjoy the Body You Have
Day 242 of 365 • FITNESS
“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
— Psalm 139:14 (ESV)
Proverb Truth
Someone will always be stronger. Faster. Leaner. Healthier. Younger. And if we’re not careful, we can spend so much time wishing for someone else’s body that we forget to appreciate the one God gave us.
I’ve learned to appreciate simple things. Being able to walk. Being able to breathe deeply. Being able to hug my wife. Those things are gifts. And gifts deserve gratitude.
Perfection becomes less important. Gratitude becomes more important.
Jesus in Action
Jesus embraced humanity completely. And in doing so, He dignified every aspect of our existence.
Forged Wisdom
Musonius Rufus wrote: “Contentment is greater than abundance.” Gratitude is the doorway to contentment.
The No Limits Challenge
Thank God for the body He’s given you.
Prayer
Father, thank You for creating me with purpose and care. Help me live with gratitude instead of comparison. Amen.
