“For they are LIFE to those who FIND them, and HEALTH to all their flesh” – Proverbs 4:22

The Word of God is the Source of LIGHT for a HEALTHY LIFE “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are LIFE to those who FIND them, and HEALTH to all their flesh” (Pro.4:20-22). We have access to this eternal Asset the moment we believe in Christ Jesus. God’s Word has power, not only to HEAL but to release the Light of Understanding for Sound Health. The word translated “health” is the Hebrew word for medicine. God’s Word is medicine to rejuvenate our physical bodies, when applied as prescribed. His Word is alive, active, effective, and full of power (Heb.4:12).

When truly believe and understand that God loves us dearly, we’re better able to develop and sustain habits that honour Him and respect our bod – His temple (1Cor.6:19-20). This is one key secret to living a really full life. We are also better equipped to keep our minds on things of God and not things of this world (Col.3:1-2). Allowing God’s words – Bible Truths – to penetrate our hearts and transform our minds will bring us into a richer and fuller life, in sound health of in spirit, mind and body. The more often we read, study, and meditate in the Scriptures, the better we’ll appreciate what Christ as accomplished for our redemption, and what God has in store for us in terms of healing and health.

The Word of God is His Agency of Healing, Deliverance, and Sound Health: “He sent His WORD and HEALED them, and DELIVERED them from their destructions” (Psa.107:20). The Word is not only the antidote against disease, it’s also the perfect recipe for success and prosperity: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” (Jos.1:8). Specifically, God’s Word is health to our flesh – our minds and bodies. He is concerned with our total wellness. He wants His Spirit to dwell with a sound mind in a healthy body. Indeed, God has already sent His Word to address every need we may have – for healing, health, wellness, or fruitfulness.

As we FIND His Word, it’s our responsibility to lay hold on, keep, and do it. We are commanded to “give attention,” “incline our ear,” “not let them depart from our eyes,” and “keep them in the midst of our heart” – Ear, Eyes, and Heart! God’s Word in our heart or spirit, saturating our mind, and flowing from our mouth will transform us into what He says. His Word is what we need to be all that God wants us to be.
