One of the subject that I believe is not always talked about most of the time in the body of Christ which I am not always happy with is the aspect of our health. Actually staying healthy is always biblical.
And when we talk about our health, we are not talking about our body, we are talking about our hearts, our mind and even our spirits. One of the things I have learnt is the fact that the bible have teached me that my body is actually very important to God. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, it says that my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
We have been given every responsibility to actually take care of our body majorly ourselves. It is not God that will come down to take care of our body for ourselves. So whenever we eat, we should eat well, we should rest well and generally honour God with our body.
Not only that, I have also come to discover that good health start from the heart. What do I mean by that? Proverbs 4:23 says, “Guard your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”
This open my eyes to see that whenever I allow anger, allow fear or generally bitterness to creep into my heart and stay in my heart, I am tempted to feel weak and trouble.
But whenever I chose peace, I chose forgiveness or generally love, it makes me to feel more lighter and stronger. When we talk about staying healthy, we are talking about making sure we pay close attention to our health and our body.
