Linda has been having some health issues the past few weeks. The effects have made her dizzy, nauseated, achy back, hurting chest, and loss of appetite.
She’s been to two clinics, Urgent Doc, the Emergency room, and finally a doctor, which may end up being her doctor.

Now it’s see this doctor or that doctor, have a test, and wait for the results. The doctors will recommend their prescription for her to feel better and have better health.
What I am after is the cause that affected her in the first place.

Remove the cause and restore the health.

The Bible does share some insight on why health issues arise.

Prov 14:30 – A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body; jealousy is like cancer in the bones.
How many actually have peace in life? Yet here is the word of God saying that peace leads to a healthy body. Stress, anger, hate, jealousy are all detrimental to good health, which is a proven medical fact.
Peace is more than not having conflict. Jesus said

Prov 15:30 – A cheerful look brings joy to the heart; good news makes for good health.
Prov 16:24 –Kind words are like honey—sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
Smiling and encouraging words are good for the heart and health.

Prov 3:7-8 – Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.
Prov 4:20-22 – My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen carefully to my words. Don’t lose sight of them. Let them penetrate deep into your heart, for they bring life to those who find them, and healing to their whole body.
Your way may stress you out. God’s way is a way of faith; lack of faith may also stress you out but His way is always right.

Prov 12:18 – Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.
I have been guilty of cutting remarks. I have been guilty of hurtful words. So I have probably been guilty of making someone sick, including me.

Ps 38:3 – my health is broken because of my sins.
Ps 103:3 – He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.
Sin is always going to lead to sickness and eventually to death.

Eccl 11:10 – So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy.
There it is! Don’t worry and you’ll do yourself so much good. You already know that.

Accepting Jesus as Savior and Lord of your life will give you so many healthy benefits. Follow His word with your whole heart and you’ll live a long healthy life.
