The Bible has much to say about the importance of taking care of our physical and mental health. The Bible reveals that God has great concern for the health and well-being of all his people. In this blog post, we will explore five ways that God’s Word speaks to us about health. We will also look at five discussion questions and multiple-choice questions related to God’s Word on health.
1. Health as a Gift from God
The Bible is clear that health is a gift from God, and it should be treasured. The Psalmist writes, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases” (Psalm 103:2-3). God is the ultimate source of all healing and health, and we must remember to thank him for all of his gifts, including health.
2. Taking Care of Our Bodies
The Bible also speaks to us about the importance of taking care of our bodies. The Apostle Paul writes, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We must take care of our bodies and treat them with respect, because they are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
3. Avoiding Unhealthy Habits
The Bible also warns us about unhealthy habits that can damage our bodies. The book of Proverbs states, “A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth” (Proverbs 29:3). We must be careful to avoid unhealthy habits like overindulging in alcohol or drugs, as they can lead to serious physical and mental health problems.
4. Trusting in God’s Provision
The Bible also encourages us to trust in God’s provision for our health. The book of Isaiah states, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” (Isaiah 3:5-6). We must trust that God will provide us with the strength and resources to maintain good health.
5. Turning to God in Times of Illness
When we are ill, the Bible encourages us to turn to God for comfort and healing. The book of James states, “Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord” (James 5:14). God is always ready to comfort and heal us, and we must remember to turn to him in times of illness.
