Day Twenty-four: SYNERGY


The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts. . . .
—1 CORINTHIANS 12:12 NIV

Synergy describes the work and intent of God’s creation. You could say there is an unfathomable synergy between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Everything He has made reflects this synergy: Our bodies have synergy, with many parts that work together. The entire cosmos has synergy, from the planets moving in their orbits around the sun, down to the minute atoms buzzing through the atmosphere.

As we draw near the end of our meditations, we’ll soon be considering not only how God created us, but what He gave us in the natural world to accent our well-being and beauty. There is a synergy between God’s natural world and the spiritual world. It’s a microcosmic reminder of how God intended everything to work in unison for our good: “All things work together for good to those who love God,” according to Romans 8:28.

You can’t separate the elements of God’s multidimensional creation and get optimal results. If you create a physically healthy lifestyle, you must still nurture your spirit. If you want to nurture your spirit, you must care for the body in healthy ways as well. On earth, the spirit needs the body, and the body needs the spirit.

We are all designed to work in unison, as part of the synergy of God’s creation, a symphony of women, a blending between the seen and unseen, the logical and the spiritual. Our bodies reflect this balance between the spiritual and physical.

Ask: What physical and spiritual habits do I have that disrupt God’s synergy at work in me?

Believe: I will listen to my body and my spirit.
