True health is a blessing we should strive to obtain. There is a deeper reason why health is important, which becomes apparent only when we understand the meaning of health.
Most people will define health only in terms of disease. They will say that health is "the absence of disease." But what is disease? The word comes from the French and means literally, the "lack of ease." Essentially, that means disease is the lack of being healthy. So, if we define health as the absence of disease we have a double negative - disease is the lack of the lack of health.
This applies to physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. When we are healthy in ALL of these areas, we have sufficient strength to serve and do His work. Which area are you experiencing lack of ease in?
Today, Ponder and pray about the source of the disease and the solution for getting back to your full strength.
