Security in Christ Improves Health, May 25
A Sound Mind in a Sound Body
The fear of the Lord prolongeth days.
Proverbs 10:27
All who are under the training of God need the quiet hour for com-
munion with their own hearts, with nature, and with God.... We must
individually hear Him speaking to the heart. When every other voice
is hushed, and in quietness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul
makes more distinct the voice of God. He bids us, “Be still, and know
that I am God.” ... Amidst the hurrying throngs and the strain of life’s
intense activities, he who is thus refreshed will be surrounded with an
atmosphere of light and peace. He will receive a new endowment of both
physical and mental strength.
Let the mind become intelligent and the will be placed on the Lord’s
side, and there will be a wonderful improvement in the physical health.
Sickness of the mind prevails everywhere. Nine tenths of the diseases
from which men suffer have their foundation here.... The religion of
Christ ... is one of its most effectual remedies, for it is a potent soother
of the nerves.
Heaven is all health; and the more deeply heavenly influences are
realized, the more sure will be the recovery....
Godliness does not conflict with the laws of health, but is in harmony
with them. The fear of the Lord is the foundation of all real prosperity.
We should cooperate with God in the care of our bodies. Love for
God is essential for life and health. Faith in God is essential for health.
In order to have perfect health, our hearts must be filled with love and
hope and joy in the Lord.
