Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

       The appetite must be trained.
     Whatever the soldier has been feeding on is what the body will demand. Are you always claiming you need much sleep? Then your body is demanding it.
     The appetite for food, rest, recreation, sex, and many other physical yearnings is the result of the body's training in those areas.
     The physical body responds to habit and must be trained. When one is a Soldier of the Cross, the Holy Spirit will not let the body rule. He must rule.
      Remember, the body is going to die and rot. Those who are alive in Christ have spirits that made alive because of the new birth.
      Don't you realize that the two are at odds with each other? That is why I must make a deliberate dedication of my body each day in obedience to Romans 1.
      Whatever it can do, my body will belong to and serve the Lord!
