"Health": Why it Matters

Health, according to Medical News Today, is a state of physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease or infirmity. Good health helps people live a full life.

As Christians, we could add spiritual well-being to that definition and we recognize that Jesus came so that we could have eternal life and desires that we have abundant life (John 10:10).

God cares about our health and wellness down to the smallest detail. He created us and made us in His own image. Our bodies are truly miraculous–the way they function and their ability to heal. God created us and calls us wonderful!

He wants us to care for our bodies–His temple–the best we can. If we know there are some areas that need improvement, we can take them to the LORD in prayer and seek His guidance in the changes He would have us make. Remember we aren’t striving for perfection in this area, but progress. Small changes–a little at a time–can make a big impact in our health.
