IS BODY HEALTH CONNECTED TO THE WELL BEING OF YOUR SOUL (INTELLECT, EMOTIONS AND WILL)? PROVERBS 14 (NIV) 28 A large population is a king’s glory, but without subjects a prince is ruined. 29 Whoever is patient has great understanding, but one who is quick-tempered displays folly. 30 A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. 31 Whoever oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God. FOCUS: Verse 30: “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” WE HAVE BEEN CREATED IN GOD’S IMAGE and He is a three-part Being. We, likewise, have three parts. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and we are body, soul (which is intellect, emotions and will) and spirit. Our three parts are separate and distinct from each other, yet there is a slow migration at the edges. In other words, the body is connected to the spirit and the soul. Therefore, it is logical to ask when the body is sick, is it possible there is some relation to a lack of health in the emotions, intellect and will - or even a separation at the spirit level from God, who is the embodiment of health and wholeness. If you find yourself sick in body, ask the Holy Spirit to show you if there is any connection with “envy,” “jealousy,” “hatred,” “strife,” and, most of all, “unforgiveness.” The list is lengthy. You can not live against the interpersonal laws God has set in motion and expect wholeness in body, mind and heart. Make peace with God, as the Great Physician, and ask for forgiveness, the same way you would submit yourself to a doctor. If something is literally “eating away at you” in your inner person, then get it resolved with God and man and see if that brings you closer to health in your body.
