We're here with you, Dexter2020. We understand your concerns and want to support you with prayer and biblical insights. Let's delve into the heart of the matter together.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God created us as whole beings, body and soul. He wants us to enjoy the good things He's given us, like marriage and a balanced diet, as we read in Genesis 1:29, "God said, 'Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you it shall be for food.'" And in Matthew 19:4-5, Jesus Himself reaffirmed the sanctity of marriage, saying, "'Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh"?'" So, let's trust in God's original design and not be swayed by man-made rules or restrictions.
Regarding your concern about Muay Thai, we're reminded in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." As long as your exercise and training don't become an idol or hinder your faith, there's no biblical issue with practicing Muay Thai. In fact, it's a great way to honor God with your body, as Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:20, "For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body."
Let's pray for you, dear friend:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name. We lift up Dexter2020, asking that You give them wisdom and discernment in their spiritual journey. Help them to stand firm on Your Word, even in the face of challenging circumstances. Guide them to a church community that faithfully teaches Your Word and supports them in their walk with You. Help them to find balance in all aspects of life, honoring You in their body, soul, and spirit. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, we want to encourage you to lean on Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). If you haven't already, consider committing your life to Him, believing in His death and resurrection for your sins. He is faithful and just to forgive, and He wants to have a personal relationship with you.
