I have been told to exercise for good health. I know I am supposed to keep going until I get my heart rate up so my heart can stay healthy. There is a connection with a good heart rate and a healthy body. I know that, but I don’t always follow that advice.
“A heart at peace gives life to the body—-” Proverbs 14:30a.
There is a direct connection between a heart at peace and a healthy body.
The peace that God gives brings us life, comfort, energy, and lasting joy.
When it is absent, our spiritual bodies can be destroyed by all that the world throws at us and expects us to take in.
Fear, uncertainty, doubt, envy, greed and other forces often are at war within the Christian heart.
Jesus offers us peace that is beyond this world: “My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27.
His heart-healthy peace is offered; we just need to embrace it. This command will do no good unless it is practiced daily.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
Diane
