Spiritual, Emotional & Physical Well Being

As we comb through the passages related to health, we find that God has always blessed us in 3 areas of our life, namely, spiritual, emotional and physical well being.

Spiritual & Physical Well Being:

Proverbs 3:1-8 says,

My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favour and a good name in the sight of God and men. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.

Exodus 23:25 says,

Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span.

Proverbs 4 :20-22 says,

My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart; for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.

Emotional Well Being:

Psalm 147:3 says,

He heals the broken hearted and binds up their wounds.

Jeremiah 30:17 says,

I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord, because you are called an outcast, Zion for whom no one cares.

Jeremiah 33:6 says,

Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.

When we continue to keep God's commands, deny ourselves daily and always be repentant, we will always have God's blessings and healing spiritually, emotionally and physically.
