Passing Up Sickness

Proverbs 14:30  “A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body;  But envy, jealousy and wrath are like rottenness of the bones.”   AMPC

I want to further dive into this Scripture a bit more.  Jehovah Rapha doesn’t just want to remove symptoms;  He wants to heal the source of the problem!  The Lord wants to heal the root cause of all disease and disorder in our hearts, our minds and our bodies.  He desires to quiet and heal the troubled mind, calm the anxious heart, restore broken emotions, heal the broken hearted, and restore the wrecked emotions.  He wants to fill our hearts with His peace;  A healed mind and heart produce life in the physical body.  He wants our inner condition to be whole and healed.

Bones in Scripture often represent the deepest part of a person;  God is showing us that what lives in the heart eventually affects the whole person --- spirit, soul and body. Life’s situations can bring the opportunity for strife, bitterness, fear, anger, turmoil and a host of many other emotions.  But ours should be the choice to pass up the opportunity of any of those choices, knowing it opens the door for sickness and disease.  

Confession: I choose to pass up every opportunity to be offended, angry, depressed, disappointed or afraid!  Instead, I choose to set my mind and thoughts on God’s promises that will deliver and set me free!

Psalm 119:165  “Great peace have those who love Your Word;  Nothing shall offend hem or make them to stumble.”
