"Good morning! Did you have a good nights rest? Resting is of great value and has enormous benefits for your health, it has a reviving effect that produces energy, and clarity of mind. Sleepless nights will eventually work against a long run at life, so learn to slow it down in the evening and let things settle down within. The Bible tells us that we should not be a part of the night running the streets, because the night is for sleeping rather than worrying or playing as the evil-doers who use the blanket of darkness to hide their deeds. Many use the night for worrying.
It's been said, that our health always seems much more valuable after we lose it. It never fails, people neglect doing what's right, at least until the trouble starts showing up and then they are ready to get serious and make right decisions. Sadly, it is here that it becomes to late in most cases. We are this way spiritually as well. As long as things are still working at least in our perspective, we keep at it even though what we are doing is wrong. Remember, everyone will have to pay up eventually, and in many cases its more than they can afford to pay when life has been lived foolishly...but life will demand payment just the same even if it comes down to paying with your own life.
Look to your spiritual and your physical health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that money cannot buy; therefore value it, and be thankful for it. Here is some good advice from Greg Anderson, The concept of total wellness recognizes that our every thought, word, and behavior affects our greater health and well-being. And we, in turn, are affected not only emotionally, but also physically and spiritually. You can't get out of life anything different than what you plant. My advice, take careful note of what you want life to be like and do the good things that will take you there.
Without health what good is money? Without spiritual health, what good is life? As you can see, the wise person will establish good habits in the beginning and stick with them, and that will promote a long and happy life. The fool however, will play reckless, eat badly, think destructively, worry endlessly, and live selfishly. The person who does this, will wake up suddenly and wonder why such shortness of life has come to their house. I have personally witnessed this process this in the lives of the foolish whether they were believers or non-believers; their practices and their choices were ultimately the deciders of how life unfolded for them. Be wise and do the things that cultivate for a good life. I so want this for you, and I hope you hear the wisdom in these words today, especially if you are running in a reckless direction whether it be spiritually, physically or both. " ~Dad~ |
