KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR BODY
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 1 Corinthians 9:27
If something was all by itself already naturally obedient and perfect, then it wouldn’t need to be disciplined. But such is not the case of the physical body in which we live. This physical body as nice and fresh as it looks, will want to missbehave at times. It will not want to yield to the word on its own.
This is simply because it is still a human body, and is a particle in the human nature. Though we have the Holy Spirit in us, we do not yet have the glorious body of Christ.Therefore we must discipline this body, along with its human passions, because we are not human in nature. If you don’t keep an eye on the passion springing up in your body, they may grow to control you.
To make sure we live above the corruption in this world, we must discipline our body, and bring it into subjection, to the word and spirit of God.We do this by being filled with the word through consistent meditation in the word and being filled with the spirit by praying and singing in the Spirit consistently.
We must be intentional about practicing the life that the word and spirit reveals to us, because with consistent practice we attain maturity. Don’t let your body be your master, be wise, and ensure you keep it subject to the word and spirit of God. You're blessed. TCF.
