And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His likeness, with ever increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is in the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18

Verse Reflections:  Every day we are being transformed into God’s likeness. Reading His word, pouring it into our bodies changes us in small ways with every verse. The closer we get to him, the more we unveil and show our face to Christ, the more we reflect the light that He shines. Just as the moon reflects the light of the sun, we are privileged to reflect God’s glory. This verse speaks to our journey of transformation, a process of being continually shaped into God’s likeness. Eating healthy and caring for our bodies are acts of stewardship, showing our commitment to God’s temple within us. Choosing nutritious foods, staying active, and treating our bodies well aren’t just for our benefit—they’re inward and outward signs of the transformation God is working within us. It sounds easy when we write or read it but we know that it can be excruciating in real life. However, by making these choices, we are displaying God’s glory and respecting the unique body He’s given each of us.

Consider each meal and every small decision about health as an opportunity to reflect God’s glory. What if, with each healthy choice, we viewed it as a way to grow closer to the Lord, aligning our actions with the transformation He is working in us? By allowing His Spirit to guide us, we grow in strength and resilience. This verse refers to the “Lord” twice in one sentence, the one who has power and authority over us. We need to make Him our Lord in order to be successful in choosing God foods. Today, every bite we eat is going to draw us closer to Him, allowing us to transform into His likeness.

Prayer:
Lord, thank You for the journey of transformation You’ve set before us. Help us to treat our bodies as the temples they are, nourishing them to reflect Your glory. Strengthen my resolve to choose Your foods, to choose health. Remind me that in every choice, I have the opportunity to honor You (or not). Allow me to grow more like You each day. I want to unveil my face, unveil my secrets, unveil every little choice I have so that I can grow closer to You and shine Your light to others. I know that I need to be transformed. When I try to hang on to ½ of my eating habits that I know are unhealthy I do not have an outward transformation. I have to give You all of my unhealthy eating habits. I have to make a complete turn around. Change me, let me reflect Your glory today by choosing God foods. I choose to be transformed with Your power.
