Hymn: 463 (New Hymn No. 400) 'In the water of a rough trial'
Meditation: We must maintain good health by taking good care of the body that God made of clay. Because the body is the vessel that holds the soul. We must glorify God with a healthy body.
Confession of Faith: Apostles' Creed
Text: “May the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
The wind of health is blowing hard. As life gets better, the wind of health continues to blow, and people do whatever it takes to be healthy. What about believers who fear God? The saints are also interested in health and should be healthy.
Verse 23 says, “God wants our spirit, soul, and body to be preserved without blemish at the Second Coming of Jesus.” You can see that we want to live a healthy life as a whole. Let's take a look at what we need to do for our physical health.
First of all, you need to eat well. There is a saying that healthy humans are made from food. Nutrients that perform various functions in the human body, such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals, are obtained through the food you eat, so food is very important. A well-balanced diet is also important.
The second important thing is water. The human body is made up of about 70% water. In order for our body to be healthy, we need to drink clean water and good things. Drinking 8 cups of water a day is said to remove toxins from the body and prevent disease.
Another important thing is sleep. Sleep has a huge impact on your physical and mental health. It is said that from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., the 'sleep hormone' called 'melatonin' is actively secreted. Therefore, it is said that it is healthy to sleep during that time. It is perfect for going to bed at 11pm and waking up at 4am.
Fourth, to be healthy, you need to exercise. It is recommended to walk 10,000 steps or 4 km a day. Finally, you should live happily. God has also told us to “rejoice always.” It is most important to eat food with a happy and joyful heart, and to work happily. Let's all live a life that glorifies God with a healthy body.
Prayer: God, give me health in the body that contains the soul. Please help me to carry out the work God has entrusted to me with my physical health. I pray in Jesus name. Amen.
