What is Your Body Saying?

From the Jan. 27th entry of the classic bestseller God's Best for My Life by Lloyd John Ogilvie:

'What has your body said to you lately?

Have you been listening? Often it warns us when we are overtaxing its strength. It cries out for rest and relaxation, just as it signals when it is hungry or sleepy.

Many of our difficult moods are physically induced. We feel badly in our emotions because of physical disorders.

Introspection does not help; we probably need rest, a break from routine, a vacation, or a chance to rebuild our strength.

Often our most creative times come after a time of resting our minds and bodies. There is an ebb-and-flow rhythm to life in Christ.

We should not feel guilty for loving ourselves as loved by Him and enjoying the pleasure of being in good physical shape.'

Winners take the time to get strength from God.
