Living in Increase (Part 9) - Increase in HealthSample

Words of Health

In Proverbs 4, King Solomon is writing to his son. He says his words are “health to one’s whole body.” We know now that these “words” are Scripture, written by the hand of King Solomon but inspired by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, God’s Word to us brings life and health to our bodies.

Exercise is essential, as is eating and drinking the right things. Sleep is non-negotiable. However, filling our bodies with God’s Word is the most important thing we can do to increase our physical health! One of my favorite verses is Joshua 1:8, which says, “Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.”

If you want to be healthy, prosperous, and successful, the only way to achieve that is by digesting the Word of God and living it out every single day. After all, His words are life and health to our whole bodies, meaning there is no part of us that God’s Word cannot heal, strengthen, and restore.
