When someone is in pain, or just not feeling good, it is easy for discouragement to set in. Especially if that pain or illness is long term, it can seem like it never will go away. It is easy to lose hope, and then lose your joy. Galatians 6:9 encourages us not to grow weary while doing what is right, for after a while we shall reap, if we don’t get discouraged and if we don’t give up. We can grow weary, even when we are standing in faith. There is a principle that God set up that we get the benefit from. It is called the law of the farm, or the principle of sowing and reaping. What we sow, we shall reap. When we sow to the spirit, we will reap to the spirit. To do that in the area of health, we can do all that we know to do to promote health, and then stand in faith for the rest. Finding balance for having a healthy body can be confusing. Just read a couple of books and they will all have different advice! But if you keep it simple – eat healthy pure food, get enough rest, drink pure water, be a person of prayer, be a person of the Word, and believe God for divine health, then we can definitely raise our level of health. Joy returns, our countenance softens and a smile returns to our face when our body is healthy. Think of it, according to the Bible, we are blessed with the blessing of Abraham, we have the ability to speak to mountains, and we can call those things which be not as though they were. We have the tools we need to live life abundantly, in glowing health. Fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, so the fruit of our life will replicate the life of God on the inside of us, when we are abiding in the vine. Let’s live in the joy of the Lord, and reap the results of standing strong in faith. We can experience all of God’s best benefits when we don’t get discouraged and don’t give up.
