April 15 Body and Soul Read: 3 John 2 I have learned this lesson a hundred times. If I tend to the important things—a daily devotional life, a healthy diet, and an exercise routine— everything is better. I feel good about myself; I enjoy my time with God; and family life is truly a blessing. But when I neglect any one of these, I am not at my best. Not only is it not well with my soul, but physically, I feel sluggish and self-absorbed and sometimes defeated. I know the solution, and I return to the source of my health. The cleansing power of God’s grace is always sufficient to restore “a new and right spirit within me.” One would think that this lesson would not easily be forgotten. The good news is that God has never given up on me, no matter how many times I have fallen short of God’s glory—and that has made all the difference in my life! Prayer: God of healing, when my soul is healthy, I can focus on the right things. When I am “soul sick,” I lose sight of your love and grace, and my world grows dark. Shine your light upon me, that I may be healed. ~Burt Brooks Midlothian, VA Miss Pam
