Soul Health

When I say soul I am referring to mind and emotions primarily. Lets look at how we can improve these 2 areas of our world. Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Philippians 4:6 NLT Worry is the devil of the mind.  Life is loaded with potentials for worry if we don’t control it. I know people who if they are not worrying about something they worry about that! Stop the worry. Give it away; don’t just pray, leave it there.  Bring it under your control. Be the master of your own mind. Undervalue is the devil of the soul. Mature your emotional world by developing a healthy sense of personal value.  Don’t go cheap all the time.  What about eating out less but when you do go in style.  What about buying less clot

Body Matters

Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. Genesis 1:26 & 31 Look at what God has made.  It is good.  You are good.  He made you well. You carry His image.  No mistake whatsoever.  Learning to love what He has made … you … your body and learning to take care of it will revolutionise your world. Simple things you could do: 1. Exercise as part of your lifestyle: Moderate exercise for 30 minutes, 4 times per week. Eg. house work, gardening, walking to the shops.  Or Vigorous exercise for 20 minutes, 3 times per week. 2. Find out what effects your motivation: As soon as you get home change into your gym gear Combine activities: walk and pray, walk and talk, cycle and pod Vary yo

3-in-1 Health

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Our well-being is never down to any one factor alone.  We are 3 in 1. Body, soul and spirit.  The health of one will effect the other. Your best life will be lived by taking care of each of these 3 areas. If you struggle with a low-self esteem you will find it harder to relate to God.  Changing your mind about yourself will effect your spirit life. If you are constantly exhausted through lack of sleep and exercise your mind will not have the fight in it to overcome life’s battles and temptations. If you let your heart go you will find this could effect your body.  A sick heart is not good for your health.

100 percent (maybe a little more)

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart. Colossians 3:23 Two twin characteristics are essential when we think of putting our all into what we want to achieve. Determination and enthusiasm. Determination is the quality that does not accept obstacles in the way of a desired outcome. Too many people read an obstacle as either a reason to give up or even a ‘sign’ they should stop. Quite the opposite is often the reality. Every high achiever will experience obstacles to the course they want to take. An obstacle should be conquered and could be as much a ‘sign’ you are on track and a character shaper for bigger things. Put courage into your course. The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win. Roger Bannister, 1st athlete to run a m
