Physical Well-Being

Read: 1 Kings 19:4 - 8; Mark 11:12 - 14

While we are not all born perfectly healthy or able to live life without injury or illness, we can live physically well by tending and nurturing our body as a gift from God. Give thanks for what it is able to do for you, and care for it as you feed it healthy foods, keep it hydrated, build physical endurance through regular exercise, and respect your body’s need for rest.

Recap:

Here are two stories about how hunger can affect our whole being. How did Elijah respond differently than Jesus in his hunger? How did caring for his body’s needs help Elijah’s ministry?

Reflect:

When you have been hard at work, what is most important for your body? What kind of physical care comes easiest to you, and what do you need to ask for help with?

Plan:

Name one, five-minute task that you could add to your week to take better care of your body.

Pray:

God who became human, thank you for my body. Help me to care for my physical wholeness as you care for me. Amen.
