“Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:30-31‬ ‭NIV‬‬ http://bible.com/111/pro.31.30-31.niv 

What about gluttony? It's what most of us are! 🤔🐷 

All of this is well and good, but bottom line...you dishonor God if you don't take care of the vehicle for your spirit he/she has given you, meaning your body and your mind. This theory also applies to the planet he/she has blessed us with to live on. We dishonor the Lord if we don't take care of Mother Earth. It's all the same thing. 

YES BlueJean! 

Yeah, getting into shape isn't vanity. It's just being not stupid. I want to be here when the shout goes out, and not knowing when that will be, I need to be prepared to live a good long time. 

I am a Christian, but I want to lose weight so I can be the best me that he made me to be... I want to be here to see Jesus come back. 

Not saying we should not get into shape...God knows...I need it....but what I am saying is don't be abcessed with it....build your inside equally. 

I have participated in the sins of gluttony and sloth and am trying to be healthy. Jesus would like that treating my body like a temple  

AMEN! Come Lord Jesus! Now would be good! 🙏🏼 “Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.” ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭4:13-18‬ ‭NIV‬‬ http://bible.com/111/1th.4.13-18.niv 

Yup - wanna be alive when that happens. Wanna feel that change. Gotta live as long as I can. 

Amen. God is good all the time. Just want to get this temple healthy, so I can work and live for my King. 

Not a Christian, but agree with the sentiment nevertheless. 😊 

Amen! Just taking care of my temple which is my body. I'm trying to be healthier.  

I'd like to consider myself "some sort of Christian"... my God is a pretty chilled out dude, though. He doesn't sweat the small stuff, he's got much ore important issues to deal with, than being bothered if we're vain or not. :) As long as you're not purposely hurting someone, he's pretty much good to go. :) 

Jesus Christ is in my heart. He is the same yesterday today and tomorrow and never changes. He never changes but we do. Just follow him trust him obey him and take his advice and not your own.  

Amen, thank you for this reminder. May who we are inside and who we stride to be inside also reflect who we are outwardly.
