Your Body, God’s Temple

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Little children, since we know we are created in God’s image, let’s ensure we keep clean always. Your body is God’s temple!

Your outer body is what people see, and the condition of your skin, hair, or face tells them a lot of how clean or dirty you are.

Endeavour to take your baths in the mornings before you leave the house, when you get back from school or after any activity that leaves you sweaty like when you finish playing football or running with your friends.

Allowing sweat to stay long on your skin, forms bacteria that could lead to some skin conditions like eczema and rashes.

Also, when bathing, use a sponge and soap and scrub your skin very well, but not too harshly.

Brush your teeth in the morning, and at night before you sleep.

Don’t forget to comb or brush your hair before you leave the house. Cut it also when due. For girls, pack your hair neatly with a hairband or visit a hairdresser to make it for you. Keep hair well oiled and neat.

All these and many more helps you to be holy before God.

Looking and smelling good attracts people to you. When they admire you, they are indirectly praising God over you. That is how God is worshipped!

Looking and smelling nice could also make people listen to you when you tell them about Jesus. And when they finally accept Christ into their lives, you have won a soul into God’s kingdom by your appearance.

1 Thess. 5:23, ICB We pray that God himself, the God of peace, will make you pure, belonging only to him. We pray that your whole self–spirit, soul, and body–will be kept safe and be without wrong when our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

May God bless you always. Amen.

Prayer:
Lord, I want to maintain a clean body lifestyle in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Action plan:
Look at your daily grooming routine. How good is it? Make plans to improve on it.

Declaration:
I will glorify God with my body.
