Making Good Choices -- Choosing Life!

Now is the time to begin making good choices – success in all of life, in every area, comes from making good choices. Choose love, choose peace, choose freedom, choose life, choose Jesus.

The human body is "fearlessly and wonderfully made" (Psalms 139:14), and in itself was created by God to heal itself. But, for the body to continually do this, we must provide it with the proper nutrients in their proper proportions. Whenever possible, we need to eat foods in the perfect natural way which God created them, unaltered by man.

"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." Genesis 1:31 We need to avoid refined, highly processed foods, stripped of the nutrients God put in our foods to nourish our bodies. It is God's perfect will for us to not get sick, but to live healthy, fulfilled lives. We can accomplish that by obedience and healthy living, by being proactive, with actions that help prevent health problems and maintain God’s perfect health!

We cannot expect to break natural laws (created by God) and expect our bodies to function perfectly. We must do our part if we expect God to heal us, if we are breaking natural laws and not taking care of the body, a Holy temple of the living God (2 Cor. 6:16). We must confront our wicked ways of eating and living, and repent. We must humble ourselves, and repent and change our ways.

2 Chronicles 7:14, which is often referred to when talking about revival of America, also gives us a pattern for America’s number one health problem – obesity. Its basic spiritual principles fit other individual and collective problems, too, but it hits the national epidemic of obesity dead on. “If my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
