1 Thessalonians 5:23 (NKJV)
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Reflections:
Isn�t it amazing how many of us religiously go to have our yearly physicals? Many of us go to our dentist more than once a year. We go to podiatrists, opticians, audiologists, heart specialists, lung specialists and the list goes on and on. Oh, how we want to feel and stay physically well.
And then there�s the psychologist, psychiatrists and a myriad of specialist councilors just waiting to help us to stay emotionally well. If it weren�t for health insurance many of us would be living in the poor house, or worse.
I�m sure you know where this is all going. That�s right, we spend all this time and money on our bodies and souls (emotions), but, for the most part, we neglect our most important component; our spiritual well being. Why is it that we express so great a concern over our physical and emotional well-being and so little over our spirit-health?
Fear of death is a huge for many. Many are flat out afraid to die and so we try hard to live on and on. I guess that�s normal if one doesn�t have a vital faith.
Then again it�s much easier to define sickness in our bodies and souls than it is in our spirit. Feeling ill or experiencing pain is God�s built-in alarm system, when we sense it, then it�s off to the doctors we go. However, many feel that the root of many diseases is a spiritual one, like un-forgiveness, bitterness and sin.
When we�re spiritually dialed in, pursuing holiness, and at peace with God our soul and body automatically follow. If we invested a bit more time to our spiritual well-being perhaps we�d find we spend a lot less time at the doctor�s office�
