Your Ten Commandments

Adapted From Author: Elizabeth Ann Dorsey Young

1-Thou shalt involve God in your eating. I Corinthians 10:31-Whatever you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Psalm 37:5-Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.

2-Thou shalt respect your body. I Corinthians 6:19-20-Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God and you are not your own? For you were bought with a price; therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. Psalm 139:14 (CEV)-I praise You because of the wonderful way You have created me.

3-Thou shalt not give in to temptation. 1 Corinthians 10:13-No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape that you may be able to bear it. Hebrews 2:18-For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

4-Thou shalt eat in moderation. Joel 2:26-You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame.

5-Thou shalt be determined to succeed and never give up. Isaiah 50:7-For the Lord God will help me; therefore, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I have set my face like a flint. And I know that I will not be ashamed. Galatians 6:9 (NIV) Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

6-Thou shalt have self-control. Galatians 5:22-23-But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control…..II Timothy 1:7 (AMP)-For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.

7-Thou shalt not be condemned when you mess up and have a bad day. Romans 8:1-There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. Lamentations 3:22-23-Through the Lord’s mercies, we are not consumed because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning….

8-Thou shalt have patience while on this journey. Philippians 1:6-Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.

9-Thou shalt not think or say negative things about your body. Proverbs 6:2-You are snared by the words of your mouth; you are taken by the words of your mouth. Psalm 141:3-Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips. Proverbs 23:7-As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.

10-Thou shalt be disciplined in exercising your body. 1 Corinthians 9:27-I keep my body under control and make it my slave so I won’t lose out after telling the good news to others.
