10/25/12- Bible and health


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. (Prov. 4:20-22)
Thoughts: The Bible is a guidebook that helps us love and forgive others- including how to stay married, raise children, and avoiding pain, trouble, and heartache in life.  So many can testify that holding to the scriptures has helped them in life or even health.  But there have been numerous studies that confirm this- one University of California (see below)  study found that once a week church attendance meant 21% less mortality and less problems with respiratory and digestive systems as well as blood pressure.  If the people who spend thousands at the gym only knew!  The Bible points the way to life and health.  Health for the soul effects health for the body.
Prayer: Lord, help me to come to you with listening ears today.
Going along with 40 Days in the Word.
