How blessed are you? Stop for a moment and think about the blessings that God has given to you. How long is your list? Could it be longer? There are so many things that God has given to us that we have taken for granted, such as our bodies. Have you thought about how blessed you are to have been made?
A harder question: are you using the body that God has given you for His glory and praise, or are you using it for evil? All that we do should be in the name of Jesus (Colossians 3:17). Now, being redeemed, we are called to live our lives in a way that brings glory to Him (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). Being those who belong to him, our lives are now His.
Think about some of the things that we may do in our bodies that do not bring praise, or honor, or glory to God. The music that we listen to; is it glorifying Christ or is promoting the things that put Christ on the cross? The movies that we watch; can we say that we do that in the name of Jesus without bringing shame upon us? Or do we watch the things that are specifically condemned in the Bible? God has given us our bodies that we might serve Him and glorify Him, but far too often we tend to take the blessing for granted and use what he has given us for evil instead of good.
