You Can Have a Balanced Life!
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (KJV)
Apostle Paul recognized that the believer in Christ Jesus is a triune being. He is a spirit, having a soul and living in a body (Genesis 2:7). He prayed, therefore, for his converts—that their spirit, soul, and body be sanctified and preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Beloved, this should also be our prayer as Christians; we must make a conscious effort to make this prayer a reality in our life. Let us set apart our spirit, soul, and body unto God alone—feeding our spirit and soul with the Holy Scriptures, prayer, fasting, worship, and any spiritual exercise that will develop our spirit and soul. We should also nurture our body with good food, rest, good clothes, exercise, and anything that will enhance the wellbeing of the body, for the body is the temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:19). When our spirit, soul, and body are balanced, we will have a triumphant Christian life. Therefore, giving glory to God in our spirit and our body (1 Corinthians 6:20). Hallelujah! Be an overcomer!
Prayer Point: Dear Abba Father, thank You for teaching me how to live a balanced life. I put Your Word to work, giving equal attention to my spirit, soul, and body. Father, please continually sanctify my spirit, soul, and body, and preserve them blameless till the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
