Some scriptures mention knees—mostly that we should be strengthening them. (See Isaiah 35:3, for example.) And while they’re mostly talking about spiritual strength, we are blessed by paying attention to our physical health as well!
So let’s talk about knees. They are an important part of your body! They’re a complicated joint made up of bone, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage that allow our legs to bend and move. We can strengthen the muscles around our knees to help keep them stable and strong.
