We’re coming to then end of January, how are your New Years resolutions going? Are you still working out, reading more, or whatever goal you may have made for the new year? Or has that new goal come and gone already?
If taking care of yourself better was part of your ‘to do’ list, have you evaluated if you are deficient in anything? Deficiencies will quickly take their toll on our body. Whether we are lacking necessary minerals and nutrients or a daily infusion of God, the effects can become obvious. Our body and our mind are designed to inform us when we are lacking something we need to function properly. For me, I know by day three of not having milk, my nails become weak and break easily. While by day three of not spending time with God, I’m snarky and have developed a bad attitude. Just as the milk strengthens my body, time with God strengthens my soul.
Are you feeling a little deficient lately? Has your body been telling you it needs something? More sleep, more protein, more exercise? Has your soul been telling you it needs something too? More time with God, the living water of His word, time spent in worship? It’s easy to ignore the signs, but when we give our body and soul what it needs, that’s when we will flourish!
Be blessed,
Jennifer
