Let's begin with health and no grumbling, please. Sorrow is not prosperous and will only make you feel bad. To prosper in health we'll begin by looking at nine principles that will keep you on track and focused throughout the year... throughout a lifetime! This is not something we will be doing in January and dumping the rest of the year - this is it, it's your life! It's your health!
Eat right - no dead food! Stay connected and we'll discover the difference between dead food and living food!
Drink right - lots of cool, refreshing pure water. We'll also discover there is great value in juicing for a healthy body!
Eating and drinking we must allow for elimination and we'll find that with proper food and drink our elimination becomes more regular and pure. Hallelujah!
Breathe fresh air regularly. Clean air? In the Rim Country we can say our air is fresher than most and not clogged with pollutants like the metropolitan areas but there is hope for all as we learn to breathe in life.
Get some sun! Yes! We need a regular dose of sunshine daily to provide us with the energy and color needed in living! We just don't bake in it. There is a difference in basking and baking!
Here it is... exercise daily! Although this is one principle we often choose to eliminate in our daily routines, this is a major daily duty and one we need to learn to enjoy.
With all of this we couldn't live well without remembering to obtain the proper amount of rest we need. You will discover that the 8 hours a night "rule" works best for us all.
Let's get our emotions under control - no sorrow, no anger, no hate, no bitterness, no depression - whatever is it you have to deal with you must instead choose to REJOICE! Life is worth it when you look at it from an eternal, godly position! No stress. An emotional balance is what we are looking to create in our daily lives.
And as we began with a spiritual foundation we continue in it - The Word of God. It is in the Word we find our answer to every need, spiritual, physical, healing, emotional, relational, and financial and any other "ational" you want to add but having a biblical foundation is a must! If you haven't met my Jesus you must! He is my best friend in life!
This is it! We are off to a fantastic start!
Remember our foundational Scripture from III John 2. You may want to put this one to memory. When you do, I can guarantee you that it will be with you and give you the extra push when you want to quit or give up in this new adventure we're on together for 2010.
"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things (everyday affairs) and be in health, just as your soul prospers."
FYI - as I read this morning again a devotional from a wise man, Jerry Savelle, I leave these words from him with you: "Meditating on key Scriptures during the day will keep your heart strong in faith and protect your mind from doubt. If you are not meditating the Word, you will not be strong in faith that you financial 'salvation' is going to manifest." ... or any other spiritual "salvation" manifestation for that matter. Amen.
