DISCUSSION:
There are so many things going on in this world
today that it is easy to let worry have more room in our heart than happiness.
In the medical world, we are constantly being reminded of the preventive
medicine we need. Unlike 60 years ago when health only entered our minds when
we got sick, today we are told continually of so much that can happen to our
health if we don’t have this test run, take this pill, or get this shot to
prevent some type of virus infecting us. If you allow it, you can give this too
much attention. Of course, it is important to have good health. As we get older
it really seems to get a lot more of our attention. Don’t let worry about your
health take your eyes off the cross. The words of God given wisdom from Solomon
in Proverbs 4, we see that a physically healthy heart is important, but to keep
focused on good things to keep our spiritual heart clean and healthy.
There is no medical test in place to make sure we
are healthy in mind and spirit. As Christians, we must look to the bible for
those answers. When we let our request be made known to God, His peace which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your heart and your minds in Christ
Jesus. (Philippians 4:6, 7).
Don’t let a cheerful life pass you by. God wants
you to be happy and healthy. Start today by putting on a smile. Show the world
Jesus lives within your heart. It may not be easy at times, but a joyful heart
really does work like medicine. (Proverbs 17:22)
A smile is infectious-you can catch it like a virus,
no physical contact even necessary.
