Day 5: Physical Intelligence

Physical intelligence is often overlooked in discussions about faith, but our bodies are just as much a part of our spiritual responsibility as our minds and souls. God has given us these bodies as vessels to carry out His work on Earth, and how we treat them directly impacts our ability to serve Him with excellence. Neglecting our physical health—whether through poor nutrition, lack of rest, or inactivity—can hinder us from fulfilling our God-given purpose.

The Bible reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. This means we should approach our health with reverence, just as we would care for a sacred space dedicated to worship. Physical intelligence isn’t about vanity or striving for perfection; it’s about stewardship. We honor God with our bodies by eating well, staying active, getting sufficient rest, and managing stress.

Even Jesus, in His humanity, understood the importance of physical care. He withdrew to rest (Mark 6:31), nourished Himself with food (Luke 24:41-43), and walked everywhere, maintaining physical endurance for His ministry. When we prioritize our health, we position ourselves to have more energy, greater focus, and longevity in ministry.

Prayer:

Lord, help me to see my body as a sacred vessel for Your work. Give me the discipline to care for it through wise choices in food, activity, and rest. Strengthen me to be a good steward of my health so I can serve You with excellence for years to come. In Jesus' name, Amen.
