Healthy Choices

Dear friend, I pray that you may prosper in every way and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. - 3 John 1:2

Good health is not only a common-sense exercise in personal discipline, it is also a spiritual journey.

God does not intend that we abuse our bodies by giving in to excessive appetites or to slothful behavior- or to overwork either. To the contrary, God has instructed us to protect our physical bodies the best we can. To do otherwise is unwise and unsafe.

God has a plan for every aspect of your life, and His plan includes provisions for your spiritual, physical, and emotional health. But He expects you to do your fair share of the work. In a world that's chock-full of tasty temptations, it's all too easy to make unhealthy choices. But as you make the right kinds of choices, you'll gain new strength and health in both body and soul. 

"Avoid temptation and it will avoid you." - Author Unknown
