To achieve good health, it may seem wise to follow the advice of “experts.” But most experts overlook the biggest problem-a lack of relationship with God. The Apostle, Paul put it this way, “Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.” (I Timothy 4:8)
Without continued guidance from the creator, how can we know what is healthy, wise, and true? Certainly, those who trust the Lord and avoid evil have a deeper understanding than those who rely on human wisdom alone. And, while Christians still face health problems, the Lord strengthens all believers through the things they suffer. Their resulting spiritual health exceeds anything world people can experience, since those who seek God gain eternal vitality.
“Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.” (Proverbs 3:7-8)
