Discipline as Stewardship
I feel like I needed this reminder today, and maybe you did also:
Christians should be some of the most disciplined people on the planet.
Not because we worship fitness.
Not because we’re trying to impress anyone.
But because stewardship is commanded.
Your body is not a prop.
It’s not “yours to do whatever with.”
It’s a living offering. A tool. A temple. A testimony. (1 Cor 6:19–20)
And discipline isn’t “extra credit.”
It’s biblical.
Paul literally says he disciplines his body and keeps it under control. (1 Cor 9:27)
We’re told to train—and yes, physical training has value. (1 Tim 4:7–8)
So let me say this plainly:
If food controls you, something is out of order.
If cravings lead you, you’re not leading.
If you’re always “starting Monday,” you’re not lacking information—you’re lacking structure.
And before anyone says, “But God cares more about the heart” …
Correct.
And He expects the body to follow.
This isn’t about vanity.
It’s about authority.
A body ruled by appetite cannot be fully surrendered.
3 simple lines in the sand (start today):
1. Protein first (break the sugar cycle before it starts).
2. Move daily (even if it’s a walk—obedience over intensity).
3. Remove the trigger foods you “can’t moderate.” (If it triggers you, it owns you.)
If you’re ready to stop making excuses and start building habits that honor God—
