Hi all steemians,
Good physical health is a blessing from God. We should never take it for granted but should thank God daily for our health and take care of our bodies as temples of the holy spirit, for our bodies are not ours-they belong to God. If we understand that life is not about us but about God's glory, we will want to pursue health and endeavor to use it to do things that will bring God glory. That, after all, is the reason we want to stay healthy...making good use of our bodies. All often too, we think in terms of preserving our health so we can enjoy long years on this earth. That is rather short-sighted, for using our health to advance God's eternal kingdom is much more important than simply prolonging life on earth.
I have to deal with the physical as the first area of wellness because it is a key topic that many are thinking about. The reality of good physical health, however, is that even for those in the best shape, it will be brief, and of all the wellness domains we are considering, it is the most likely to elude us. The message of Wellness for the Glory of God is that we can continue to be well even as our physical health deteriorates. Wellness is not defined by what our bodies look like or what they can do. When considered from the perspective of each of the domains of life, wellness can be much more fulfilling and deeply satisfying.
Thank you for reading. God bless.
