GOOD HEALTH AND PROSPERITY

By Irving Serrano Sr

 

Recently, my Kids gave me a reminder of how I should get in the practice of drinking more water. I jokingly say, "I'm a Camel", because I drink a little water, once a weak. In reality, "I like bubbles". This ultimately led me to (3 John 2 ) " Beloved, I wish above all things, that thou mayest prosper and be in good health, even as thy soul prospereth". This verse is an eye opener to a reality, that effects us all. In regards to our physical life. We cannot live with out a body. This is why God, upon our creation, gave us a physical body. God, being our creator, knows how our bodies function, and what we need to sustain them, and what is best for our good health. This is also why since the beginning of creation, He also worried Himself as to giving us, what it took to feed our selves,and gave us specific instructions as to a proper diet, in order that we would be happy and healthy. In the  time of Israel. God, took concern in feeding His Children. He knew the human body needed food, heat, water, even shade. God, provided all of these things in miraculous ways. He also gave directives, to prevent epidemics, to keep people from falling victim to improper hygiene. In the book of (Leviticus 11 ), He explains in detail, what types of food one should eat, once again referring to good health, and an abundant life. John, said; " Be of good health". If we have a broken body, or if we are in poor health, it would effect us greatly. Just going to work would be a challenge. How could we enjoy our spouses? How would it effect us, when we try to go out to do Gods work? Some people have been blessed with money, but in the end. What about their health. Jesus Christ, while He walked this earth, demonstrated that He was about good health. He showed great concern over the up keep, and well being of everyone. When He saw the hungry multitude; He fed them. When He came upon the ill; He healed them. And to His disciples, He always let them know that they needed to take time to rest. This way they would be able to endure the task of going out todo Gods work. He also performed alot of miracles on Saturdays, comparing Saturdays with salvation, and good health. It is a known fact that giving a body rest, helps relieve stress. Stress that is provoked by this fast paste of life, that exist in today's world. Question? Knowing that God, worries himself over your health, does it give you a feeling of gratitude? Take advantage of this day, and evaluate what you put into your body. How are you treating your body. Are you drinking enough water? Are you doing any kind of exercise? Are you being healthy, in general? Or do you just think that the condition of your health is out of your hands? As if it were a way of life? " Beloved", I pray that you enjoy good health, and all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. May God bless you. Love always, Irving Serrano Sr.
