Do you want to be healthy and strong?
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength to your bones.
Proverbs 3:7-8
In today’s Proverb, we are told how to be healthy and strong in our body:
1, Don’t be wise in your own eyes
The first remedy to be healthy and strong is not to be wise in our own eyes. The Bible tells us that the wisdom of man is foolishness to God therefore as much as we may think we know it all, what we know is nothing compared to our God. We should humble ourselves and seek the wisdom of God in everything we do including in our health:
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
Proverbs 14:12 (ESV)
2, Fear God
If we want to be healthy and strong we are told to fear God. The fear of God is having holy reverence and respect for God knowing that He made us and our lives are in His hands:
Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge
Proverbs 14:26 (NIV)
3, Depart from Evil
If we want to be strong and healthy we have to be willing to depart from doing evil because evil things only lead to sickness and eventually death. Instead we have to do good so that it will go well for us:
Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell in the land forever.
Psalm 37:27 (NIV)
Prayer
Dear Lord, please help me not to be wise in my own eyes but to fear You and depart from evil in Jesus name.
