20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body. Proverbs 4:20-22
I think a lot about my health these days as I am getting older. While illness can strike anyone at any age, there are things we can all do to fight off the shutting down of our body and its organs. Treating your body as a gift God has given is always a good start. Plenty of sleep, exercise and a healthy nutritious eating plan can always have a significant impact. Do you think of God's Word and the impact on your physical body? When you read about hope in the scriptures, what does that do to your inner soul? Just like the joy of a hug from someone you care deeply about or even a simple touch, that can bring a heart to positive feelings. God's Word can have a powerful effect. Seeing the power of God's love of us and what He can accomplish should all bring us a great amount of comfort. That in turn can improve how our body operates, both mentally and physically. So, do your body a favor, accept those words and your body should feel something.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
