Don't you love those "fixer-upper" shows and the miraculous transformations? It's so exciting to see how things are renewed (made new again), brought back to life, and useful once again?
Have you ever wished your health could be "renovated?" Updated, refreshed, and restored with new life put back into you?
I'm not talking about temporal "makeovers" for vain reasons or rapid weight loss to be more attractive according to the world's standards, but to sufficiently serve those in our realm of influence- to be a sharpened tool or worthy vessel "unto good works!"
Ephesian 2:10 reminds us.
...we are his workmanship (works of God as creator) created in Jesus Christ unto good works.
We know from Genesis 2:7 that God created the human body from the dust of the ground and breathed life into it. A perfectly healthy man was created until he sinned, and the perfect cells began to deteriorate the body, mind, and spirit. This was the beginning of disease and deterioration.
Has your disease and deterioration gotten out of control?
So who's responsibility is it to maintain the health and wellness of our body? Is God responsible for our health and maintenance, or are we?
When it comes to thinking of our physical body as a "fixer-upper," we must first determine who it belongs to because this determines the attitude of how we will treat and care for our physical dwelling.
Typically, if something belongs to you, you can do what you want with it?
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Matthew 20:15
However, as daughters of the king...
Ye are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God's. I Corinthians 6:20
Let's brainstorm this thought for a minute...
If God purchased us, then we don't belong to ourselves. We belong to him, and my dwelling belongs to God. So, in the form of the Holy Spirit, God has taken up residency inside of me. This sounds like the landlord has moved in with me. Isn't this considered awkward?
When we rented homes, I felt uncomfortable when the landlord would drop by unexpectedly to "check on things" because he wanted to see how I cared for his property.
Well, I guess that means that I will be a little more careful about how I act and what I do with his property, right?
But guess what! That means the one that designed and created us and wrote the instructions on how to care for my "home" lives with me and will guide me in making the most miraculous health transformation.
The best part about a health transformation is once the inside is remodeled, the outside automatically begins to transform! So it's a two for one!
