Don’t assume that you know it all.
Run to God! Run from evil!
Your body will glow with health,
your very bones will vibrate with life!
Proverbs 3:7-8
Observation: Within the teaching of the proverbs, which emphasize over and over again that one should turn to the Lord's wisdom and not rely upon our own thoughts, is this added piece ... embracing the Lord's wisdom improves your health. Being obedient and trusting in the Lord brings health to your physical body, inside and out.
Application: I have been thinking even this morning that my health is heading in a wrong direction. I am not exercising or doing basic maintenance of myself physically as I should. This week I made a list of things I need to be doing every day, and while that list begins with prayer and devotions and investing time into my marriage, it ends with taking time for physical activities.
The more I lean into my relationship with the Lord and trust him with my daily walk, the more he will find time for me to care for my body and mind. This is a truth I will embrace. I want to be healthier. That begins with avoiding the bad things in life, and that is exactly where the Lord will give me strength through my faith and attention to him.
Prayer: Lord, may I again walk with you today. Guide me on the path that keeps me healthy, both inside and outside. Amen.
