The first challenge was to journal our diet for at least a week. A sample diet was posted, as well as helpful articles about "clean eating" and proper water intake. An easy way to figure out how many ounces of water you should drink daily is to take your weight and divide it by two.
The fitness challenge for tomorrow has already been posted: 15 push-ups, 15 bicep curls with weights or bands, 15 squats and a 20 second hold plank. This didn't seem too difficult, until I got to the part which said, "REPEAT 2-3 times"!
Yes, it is wise to take care of our bodies by eating properly and exercising. After all, the Bible tells us our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, so it is best to keep them in good shape. Tonight, however, as I was looking through the book of Proverbs for a piece of wisdom for the day, I found the secret to true health:
"My son, pay attention to what I say;
listen closely to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them
and health to a man's whole body.
Proverbs 4:20-22
The words Solomon is referring to in this passage are his words of wisdom. They were the words he recalls receiving as a boy from his father, David, the one known as the "man after God's own heart". These words of wisdom encouraged following the path of the righteous, and avoiding the way of the wicked.
A great plan for learning the path of the righteous is to make a habit of reading God's Word. Did you know the book of Proverbs has 31 chapters? This makes it convenient to read one chapter each day of the month. Are you up to the challenge?
