Fuel for the Mission: Treat Your Body Like It Matters

‍

Intro

Alright, Muscle Dogg here, and today we’re talkin’ about how you fuel your body—because what you put in affects what you get out.Think about it—you wouldn’t put cheap gas in a high-performance car and expect it to run right. But too many people treat their bodies like they can handle anything, loading up on junk, running on fumes, and wondering why they feel sluggish, sick, and worn out.

‍

Listen—your body was made for a mission. God designed you with a purpose, and if you’re not fueling yourself right, you won’t have the energy, strength, or endurance to do what He’s called you to do. Let’s break down how taking care of what goes into your body affects everything that comes out of it.

‍

1: Your Body Runs on What You Feed It

Your body ain’t just a machine—it’s a temple. And how you treat it matters to God.

‍

1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.”

That means:

    •           What you put in your body fuels your energy, focus, and strength.

    •           Eating well isn’t about looks—it’s about being ready to serve.

    •           Garbage in, garbage out—if you fill your body with junk, don’t be surprised when it doesn’t work right.

‍

God gave you one body to carry out your purpose—treat it like it matters.

‍

2: Your Choices Affect Your Future

A lot of people think, “I’ll worry about my health later.” But here’s the truth—later starts now.

‍

Proverbs 4:7 says, “The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.”

That means:

    •           Learn what your body needs—don’t just eat whatever’s easy.

    •           Small daily choices shape your future health.

    •           What you do now determines how strong you’ll be later.

‍

You can’t expect to live strong at 60 if you’re neglecting yourself at 30. Start making better choices today.

‍

3: Food is More Than Just Fuel—It’s Part of Your Worship

God cares about every part of your life—including how you treat your body.

‍

Romans 12:1 says, “Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.”

That means:

    •           Eating well is a way to honor the body God gave you.

    •           Caring for your health makes you more available for His work.

    •           You don’t have to be perfect, but you do have to be intentional.

‍

Your body was made to carry out a purpose—don’t slow yourself down with poor choices.

‍

Conclusion

Your body is a tool, not an afterthought. How you fuel it today affects how you live tomorrow. God has a mission for you, but you gotta be strong, energized, and ready to carry it out.

‍

So, let me ask you: Are you feeding yourself for strength or just for convenience? Are your habits setting you up for a strong future, or are they slowing you down?

‍

Call to Action (CTA)

Start today. Make one better choice—swap out the junk, drink more water, and fuel yourself like your body matters. And as you do, thank God for the life He gave you and commit to treating it well.

‍

What to Hold Onto

Your health isn’t just about food—it’s about honoring God, living with energy, and being strong for the purpose He gave you.

‍

Fuel yourself wisely, take care of what He gave you, and live ready for the life He’s called you to. Now let’s get to work!
