Dec 30 Cleansing From the Inside Out

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV)
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

We clean and maintain so many things in our daily lives—our cars, dishes, homes, and even our teeth. Yet, how often do we pause to think about cleansing the inside of our bodies? What does it mean to truly honor God with the temple He has given us, not just on the outside but from within?

I’ve tried many things to prioritize my health—eating clean foods, cutting out unnecessary carbs, drinking more water, and fasting. These were all good steps, but like many of us, I struggled with consistency. I’d often feel tired or depleted, realizing my body was still crying out for a deeper reset.

That’s when I discovered a new approach: a juice cleanse. This wasn’t just about physical health but about creating a spiritual and physical reboot. As I searched for a solution, God led me to a Christian-based juicing company, ‘Clean Juice.’ Their organic, wholesome juices provided the perfect foundation for a three-day cleanse. It was a chance to restart my commitment to eating better and treating my body as the temple of the Holy Spirit.

The process of cleansing isn’t just physical—it’s deeply spiritual. Just as we detox our bodies to remove harmful substances, we must also cleanse our spirits by removing sin, unhealthy habits, and anything that draws us away from God. It’s an act of surrender, allowing God to purify us so we can be renewed.

Reflection:
Think about the ways you care for the external parts of your life. Do you invest the same effort into maintaining the internal—both physically and spiritually? Are there areas where you need a reset, whether through healthier habits or a renewed focus on God? Take time today to consider what it means to honor God with your body and soul.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for creating me in Your image and for giving me the Holy Spirit to dwell within me. Help me to treat my body as the temple You intended it to be. Lord, cleanse me physically, spiritually, and emotionally so that I can better honor You. Strengthen my discipline and guide me in making choices that reflect Your will. Thank You for the tools and resources You provide to help me take care of this temple. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Challenge:
This week, choose one step to cleanse and honor your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. Whether it’s drinking more water, cutting out processed foods, spending time in prayer and fasting, or letting go of an unhealthy habit, make a commitment to reset. Share your journey with someone and encourage them to join you in pursuing a healthier, God-honoring lifestyle.
