“Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” 3 John 1:2.
God is concerned for both body and soul.
It is possible for some to try to separate the physical and the spiritual. This can sometimes lead to one of two extremes: total neglect of physical health because all that matters is the spiritual, or over emphasis on indulging the body and its sensual desires, disregarding the effect it has on the spiritual.
As a responsible Christian, you should neither neglect nor indulge yourself, but instead care for your physical needs, and discipline your body so that you are at your best for God’s service—therefore, finding strength and health for the soul.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
Diane
