Think Long Term

Scripture

“Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and turn away from evil. It will be healing to your body and refreshment to your bones.”
(Proverbs 3:7–8, NASB)

Word

A famous doctor once said, “It is easier to maintain good health than it is to try to regain your health once you’ve lost it.” That’s why it’s so important to take care of your body and consider the long term implications of your health choices. God has great plans for you on this earth, but if your body is worn down; if you are tired all the time and your health is poor, you won’t be able to accomplish what you could otherwise.

Scripture encourages us to take care of our bodies because we are the temple, the dwelling place, of the Holy Spirit. Make wise choices with your health. Stay active and choose living foods. Sow life into your body and reap life today and in the long term.

Prayer

“Father, today I commit my body, mind and soul to You. Help me to make wise choices with my health so I can live long and fulfill the plan You have for me in Jesus’ name! Amen.”

(Joel & Victoria Osteen)
