From Psalm 146:5, 7-8 – Happy are those whose help is in the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God…who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry, the LORD sets the prisoners free; the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous.
I will be spending a good part of my day today thinking about this connection between faith and health, the interrelationship of our bodies and our spirits. These verses make it clear that healing ministry is every bit as fundamental to faithful living as is caring for the poor, the oppressed and the hungry.
Prayer:
Creator God, thank you for the gift of these wonderful bodies. Help us learn to care for them as we seek to achieve our highest level of wellness. AMEN.
