REST AND CHECK YOUR HEALTH

Mark 6:30-32 (TPT)

The apostles returned from their mission…gathered around Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught. There was such a swirl of activity around Jesus, with so many people coming and going, that they were unable to even eat a meal. So Jesus said to his disciples, “Come, let’s take a break and find a secluded place where you can rest a while.” They slipped away and left by sailboat for a deserted spot.

Jesus is concerned about your health and the way you take care of your body. Your body is God’s temple in which He dwells by His Spirit, (1 Cor.6:19-20). Just as God is glorified in your body when you abstain from sin, God is also glorified in your body when your body is strong and healthy. Paul describes our body as an earthly house, (2 Cor. 5:1). It is a vessel God has given us by which we carry His life and do His will on the earth. God wants us to take care of our bodies so we can be strong and fit, to advance His will and purpose on the earth.

It is not enough to declare and receive the perfect health Christ has provided for you. You need to apply excellence and wisdom in taking care of your health. Don’t overwork yourself. Avoid burnout. Jesus was very passionate about doing the work of God, but He did not overwork Himself. He knew when it was time to rest and refresh Himself. Work hard but know how to take breaks and rest well. Endeavour to eat healthy foods, get medical check-ups and exercise your body. The Bible says there is some profit in bodily exercise, (1 Tim. 4:8).

You shall remain strong and fruitful even in old age, (Psa. 92:14). The Lord will satisfy your mouth with good things, and your youth will be renewed like that of the eagle, (Psa.103:5, Deut. 34:7).

Prayer:
Father, I thank you for giving me perfect health in Christ and I thank you for your wisdom to take good care of my physical health.
