Spiritual Health

How good is your spiritual health?

When we take care of our bodies, we do all kinds of activities to maintain our well-being. We like to exercise, eat well, sleep right and do what will make us stronger and be able to keep up with our daily pursuits. We even have our bodies measured from height to weight, to body mass index and a whole lot of measurements so that we may know that we are doing okay.

Our spirit needs the same treatment. We cannot touch it, but it touches us. There are also levels of spiritual health that if left unattended, could be disastrous. Our physical and mental well-being can also be dependent on our spiritual well-being. Those who exercise greater faith will receive more from the hand of God.

Take the example of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. These three fine young men were held captive but never lost their hope. They were extremely obedient to the laws and wishes of our Heavenly Father. They were also tried and tested through the fiery furnace. In the third book of Daniel lies their story. I invite you to read it for yourself to see how remarkable these young men were.

When they were under the command of King Nebuchadnezzar, they were good skilled workers for the palace. But when time came for their beliefs, they never failed to stand up for their God. They had a daily habit of establishing communication with the Lord. And in return, when the King’s wrath was at its peak and he threw them in the fire, God saw fit to deliver them. God will also deliver you when you stand up for Him and keep a healthy and consistent line of communication with Him. He will deliver you and His blessings will extend eternally.
