Total Health: Focussing on Body, Mind and Soulಮಾದರಿ
Can you become physically healthy? 💪
God wants you to experience a new level of physical health. That sounds like a bold statement, doesn’t it?
I’ve heard so many religious people tell me that physical health was not part of God’s plan for our lives. Many have told me that we should only focus on spiritual health.
But there is a verse that challenges this limited view of health and freedom: “May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:23, NIV)
The Apostle Paul was releasing a blessing on the believers in Thessalonica, and he included spiritual, emotional and physical health.
Would you like to be physically healthy? Would you like to be free from pain, sickness and diseases?
I believe that health is part of the blessings of God. Please don’t get me wrong—all of us have struggled with some sort of physical challenge. I’ve had broken bones, concussions, colds, bronchitis and even a few strokes. I believe that God’s ultimate goal is health for me. My philosophy is quite simple: eat right, drink lots of water, exercise daily, cut out most sugar from my diet and get plenty of sleep. The Bible says, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.” (1 Corinthians 6:19, NIV)
So, are you taking care of your temple? Taking care of your temple is very spiritual. Your body is a gift from God. Stewarding your body cannot prevent all trials, sickness and diseases, but it can prevent many unnecessary moments or years of suffering.
Four years ago, I had a stroke that was caused by a clogged artery in my neck. The blockage may have come from my eating habits, the devil or a violent hit by a hockey player. But God wants my health and well-being. So I’ve decided to do everything in my power to take care of my body. I changed my eating habits, added supplements and added a few more important steps to my health.
What’s your plan for health? What are you willing to do to be pain-free?
Please take care of yourself because you’re a miracle.
