Day 40: Health To Your Bones

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.

Proverbs 3:7-8

Sometimes it can be sickening to see people doing wrong and getting away with it.  In our world today more and more is made of results.  We look for evidence based practices in education and business.  But often we ignore moral failings if our bottom line is increased.

The Bible seems, however, to suggest that in the ultimate sense fearing the Lord will bless you with health.  So one might be clever in strategy and create vast sums of money but there is a side effect to evil in the long run.  We will not find the complete sense of health if we don’t respect the Lord and turn from evil doing.

While all have sinned we should not become comfortable putting aside morality so we can make a buck.

In Matthew 6 we read:

¹⁹ “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. ²⁰ But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ²¹ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Each day I feel more and more a longing for heaven.  So today, I am going to look for ways to store up treasure for heaven.  And this pursuit will bring healing to my bones.
