In The Temple

"The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them." --Matthew 21:14

Read: Matthew 21

When Jesus entered the temple, what He found didn't resemble its purpose. It didn't take Him long to overturn some tables and drive out those who mistreated His holy place. Interestingly, the very next verse says, "The blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them."

Friends, the enemy wants us to abuse the temple, this body. He wants us to either neglect it so we can't live an abundant life, or he wants us to lose perspective with vain eyes. If you can't see beyond the physical, or if you haven't given your health enough attention, ask Jesus to overturn some tables. He can rebuild what we've destroyed. After all, it's His temple. And that's where He heals the blind and the lame.

--Jimmy Peña

WORKOUT OF THE MONTH: Body-Toning System

Sometimes, turning over tables when it comes to your health requires a little more motivation, a tad more accountability and a smidge more structure. The PrayFit 33-Day Body Toning System (Lionsgate) happens to provide all of that in abundance. This equipment-minimal, home-based workout helps you to build greater strength and muscle tone throughout your body, while also helping you to burn fat faster than ever.

With faith-charged workouts led by PrayFit founder Jimmy Peña, participants find themselves inspired and insistent on challenging themselves day in and day out for 33 days, honoring the One who made them.

"We don't strive to be healthy to be loved by God," Peña says. "We strive to be healthy because we are."
