23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life. The spiritual heart and the physical heart have many similarities. This proverb points out that the heart is to be guarded and protected, because out of it flow the very issues of the human life.

Week 2 Day 1~

1. Read this week's verse together: Romans 12:4-6

New King James Version (NKJV) 4 For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, being many, are one body

in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith;

Often we think of our biceps as being the best way to "show off" our big muscles, but it is important to value all of the different muscles in the body because if we work just one group of muscles at the expense of others, we will be unbalanced and out of proportion. This scripture shows uses an example of the body to help us think about other people in the church (and other people in our family) and how each one of us is important, with unique strengths and a special job to do.

This passage is speaking about the body in the context of being pure and using our bodies in a way that honors the Holy Spirit within us. It is an amazing truth that of all the Temples God could

have chosen for the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit, he chose us. Also, while He could have just given us a spirit, God chose to house our spirit in a physical body. We only get one body in this life  to  carry  around  not  only  our  spirit,  but  also  God’s  Holy  Spirit- That’s  a  remarkable  thought!    We  aim  to  keep  our  bodies  fit  not  so that we can feel good about ourselves in a vain way, but rather because  they  are  temples  of  God’s  Holy  Spirit  here  on  earth  and  should be treated with the honor that such a an important role deserves

If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. As we discussed last week, God chose to house our spirit in a physical body. He gave each of us a unique body with its own special shape and beauty.
