AS YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE TODAY . . . . . . THINK ABOUT “HOW TO LIVE WITH YOUR EMOTIONS.” Our emotions can affect our physical health, often more than we realize. We all know health isn’t just a physical thing. God created us as holistic beings with a spirit, body and soul. But how many of us truly connect the dots on a daily basis and realize the direct impact our emotions have on our physical health? When we aren’t feeling well, often our instinct is to relate the problem to a physical illness, what we’ve been eating and drinking, or whether we’ve been exercising and getting enough rest. But sometimes the deeper part of the problem—the root of it all—stems from negative emotions that we permit into our life. I’m going to ask you to be honest with yourself about the kinds of thoughts and feelings you permit into your life. God wants you to feel strong and healthy. He also wants you around for the long haul. And for many of us, taking better care of ourselves emotionally needs to be just as important as how we care for our physical needs. The Bible says in 3 John 2 – “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. If you notice the word “soul” in this verse, it means our mind, will, and emotions. So, the apostle John is connecting our physical health with our emotional health. As we begin to think about this subject, I wanted you to see that the two are connected. So, it’s very important for us to learn how to be physically healthy as well as emotionally healthy. I hope this week’s devotions will help you and those you love as you share these with them. I want to personally invite you to our LIFE BIBLE STUDY on Sunday mornings at 9:50am in the Gym at Parkview Baptist Church. This next Sunday (September 29th), we will be studying the subject, “How To Live With Your Emotions.” Bro. Dan Souders will be leading our class on this day. Bro. Dan is a faithful member of Parkview Baptist Church and he attends our Life Bible Studies. Bro. Dan is a manager in the Dillard’s Shoe Department here in Waco, Texas and is also a licensed counselor with a certification in anger management. I believe Bro. Dan has just the knowledge of information that we need in dealing with this very relevant issue of our day and time and he will be sharing this with us. Hope to see you there! - Bro. Joey
