“May we care for our bodies and our minds by observing the principles set forth in the Word of Wisdom, a divinely provided plan. With all my heart and soul, I testify of the glorious blessings which await us as we do.” Principles and Promises – By President Thomas S. Monson https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2016/10/principles-and-promises?lang=eng
First and foremost, let’s remember that this is being quoted by the prophet, even the mouthpiece of the Lord on earth, and we should hear it as, “thus sayeth the Lord.” Our bodies are the reason we came down to the earth in the first place and the denial of a body is the great punishment of Satan and those that rebelled against God in the great council in heaven. We should be taking really good care of our bodies so that we can learn to use them as we should, in bringing about much righteousness.
