When it comes to health and wellness, there are some simple guidelines we have been given by God, which if we follow, will help us retain our health and keep us fit for life and fit as Gods temple. We will discuss these further and in greater depth in future postings. To be more specific, it is known as "Gods Plan". The G represents, Trust God, or Godly Trust. The O represents, Open Air. The D represents, Daily Exercise.The S represents, Sunshine. The P represents, Proper Rest. The L represents, Lots of Water . The A represents, Always Temperate. The N represents, Nutrition. Gods Plan for man from the beginning was that man should be in health and free of sickness and disease, He even created man in His own Image, perfect. God had a plan that if man would obey and follow His plan, would allow man to be free from disease and illness and live a happy healthy stress free life. Gods Plan will be sketched out in the next several blog posts.
- After Adam and Eve sinned, God cursed the ground and now that some six thousand years have passed, the earth and the animals are polluted and diseased and many people are realizing that animal flesh is no longer the best means of getting protein. Disease is rampant in man and beast, the waters are also polluted as well as the creatures of the waters. We have been warned that a time would come when it would not be prudent to eat animal flesh due to the many pollutants and diseases among animals, and the environment.
- Men today approach Gods word and His Testimony as good writing by some good men which are largely suggestions which may be taken if one chooses to. But on the other hand, if you choose not to, is no problem. This is the reason for so many of the societal problems, and the health and wellness issues so many people have these days. The majority of people follow a very small portion of Gods word and leave the main part of the Bible for some other person to follow, as though it has nothing vital for them.
God instructed man as to what he should eat way back in the Garden of Eden, see Genesis 1:29. After Adam and Eve sinned, God cursed the ground and told man that he would eat the herb of the field in sorrow, all the days of his life. Vegetables and herbs were introduced, see Genesis 3:18, but after God destroyed the vegetation by the flood, man was permitted to eat flesh foods, animals. God gave instruction that man should never eat FAT or BlOOD, the two things that make meat taste good, so I am told. Reference Leviticus 3:17, also Lev.7:23-27. These instructions were for our ancestors, and since God never changes, these instructions are also for us today. See Malachi 3:6, and Hebrews 13:8. As long as men continue to transgress Gods word, his Law, man will have to suffer the consequences. Life span will be shortened and illnesses will exist. The Bible states "the wages of sin is death", Romans 6:23.
Gods desire is simple and stated in third John 2, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” We should believe the Bible and follow the counsel because John 3:18 states that “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." Leviticus 19:12 states, “And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord”. See also James 5:12, which states “But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation”. May God Bless the reader as we come into a better understanding of His will for our lives.
