WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones. Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.
Proverbs 3:5-10 NLT
TODAY’S THOUGHT
What if I could offer you a pill that would add 10 healthy years to your life? I am pretty sure it would be a best seller regardless of the price tag.
But God offers us a free plan for health. He says if you do this “you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.” This is a promise from God.
So, what do we have to do? First, we learn to trust in God. This means I develop an inner peace knowing that God is going to handle whatever I face today. He is my Guide, Healer, Provider, and Strength. God always works things out for my good.
Second, I choose to seek God’s will over my will. I choose not to depend on my limited wisdom and instead I believe my Heavenly Father knows what is best for my life. Therefore, I will seek the wisdom of God’s Word and commit to follow what He has told us. I will not question or rationalize; I will commit to obedience to God’s Word.
Thirdly, I will live in humility. I will not “be impressed with my own wisdom.” Humility will mark my life as I will always be wanting to learn and grow. I will never assume that I know it all or have arrived.
Finally, I will practice generosity in my life. This will include my time, talent, and treasure. I will be marked by my generosity to God’s kingdom and other people.
At first glance you may wonder how this impacts my health. The truth is that our spirit and soul have a powerful impact on our physical body. When there is tension and stress in our spirit and soul our body is affected. If we are out of alignment with God’s will for our lives, we are opening ourselves to intense stress and anxiety.
Let’s decide to be healthy in spirit, soul, and body.
