My thoughts today are on the impending health fair that we will have at work today. It is an annual event in which they check blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, bmi, etc. I usually do pretty well with the blood pressure and blood sugar but I excel with cholesterol.
I am a cholesterol manufacturing machine. I can take the medication or not take the medication and have numbers off the chart either way. I really try to eat fairly healthily but it has little effect on my numbers. I try to exercise fairly regularly but that, too, seems to have negligible effects. But, I have to do what I can.
Today's word is Proverbs 3:7 & 8, NIV, which reads, "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones."
If we want to be really healthy, there is nothing better that we can do than to fear the LORD and shun evil. There are so many bad things that we can get into that will have detrimental effects on us physically. I won't go into long lists but we will suffice to say that doing certain evil things can cause you to get diseases that will KILL you, often slowly and painfully.
Not only will shunning evil keep you healthy, it will nourish you. I have had a busy stretch where that I haven't made it to exercise as often as I had been. But, once I got back into the routine, I felt better than I could have imagined. Sore? Yes. Tired? Yes. Achy? Yes. But, better.
Yes, it is important to try to maintain a healthy lifestyle. We can really aid ourselves by trusting GOD and shunning evil. Now, let's go see how high that cholesterol meter can really read!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
