So… what do our bodies have to do with the battle of the last days? Let’s look at the quote from our dear Prophet Russell M. Nelson,
“We’re witnesses to a process of restoration,” said the prophet. “If you think the Church has been fully restored, you’re just seeing the beginning. There is much more to come. … Wait till next year. And then the next year. Eat your vitamin pills. Get your rest. It’s going to be exciting.”
When I first read this I laughed at the comment to eat our vitamin pills and get rest. I thought it was his sense of humor coming through, and maybe it was, but then I had a second thought.
Satan is doing the best he can to weaken our bodies because when we are weak we don’t have the energy or mind power to do the work of the Lord. We may look at our lives and think we are doing pretty good because we are not involved in any major sin, but the question I pose is, Are we doing any good? Do we have the strength of mind and body to act on any given inspiration from the Spirit?
If your like me I have very little energy. Sometimes I feel like I’m going into Battle without any armor on. I have all the right intentions but no ability to really fight the battle. I’m often afraid to pray about who to serve because I have no energy to act on those promotings. This is why this quote really hit me. The Lord needs an army that are not just willing to fight but ABLE to fight. It’s not a physical war it’s a spiritual war but it takes energy of mind and body just the same.
So what can we do today and every day to win this battle over our bodies? Taking our vitamin pills and getting rest is a good start. 😉
