A Right Spirit
and a healthy body
Scripture Reading: Proverbs 14:30
A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.
Right up front, I need to make a disclaimer lest what I am about to say be misunderstood. I am not saying that all physical ailments are a consequence of spiritual problems. Okay…
In some cases, there is a connection between our inner sinful attitudes and our physical condition. A person who is disquieted in the heart because they are envious is a person who is hurting themselves physically. Worry, unrighteous anger, bitterness, hatred, pride, jealousy, etc. are the kinds of inner soul sins that can create physical ailments.
Eating right and exercising is good for your health. So is being filled with the Spirit who produces in us the fruits of love, joy, peace, etc.
