Daily Dose of God's Word At
Barbara's EntourageHeart Problems?
Our Thoughts:
In the world today, we hear so much about heart problems. The doctors say that heart/cardiovascular disease is the number one
killer. It is said that over 62 million Americans have some kind of heart problem. And, of those, over one million die each year.
Heart disease can be curtailed or stopped in most cases. We need to watch the food we eat. Too many people don't watch their blood pressure and keep it under control. In other words, we
don't look after our health in the way we should, most of the time.
There are also spiritual heart problems. Worry and stress play a role in heart problems. Stress-related diseases (including heart disease) are killing our people. Worry and stress can be relieved, when you get in the Word. Having knowledge of the Word, and being enlightened by the Holy Spirit in the Word,
can help in every aspect of your life, especially the heart. Spiritual heart disease would be non-existent, if Christians were as diligent in studying the Word as they are in their eating habits. That might get a laugh out of some, but it's the truth. As the preacher says, there are those sitting in the pews every Sunday,
who can't wait for noon to get there, hoping the preacher will stop on time (their time), so they can race for the nearest restaurant. It's sad that we think of food more than we think of God moving in our midst. We need to hold on to God and His Truths and Promises, and perhaps we could see the heart problems, both bodily and
spiritually, begin to wane.
God's Thoughts:
Psalms 19:8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Our Cup:
Heavenly Father, your words say that we are destroyed for our lack of knowledge. Heart disease is prevalent in our nation today. Help us to realize that this comes from our lack of knowledge, not only with health issues, but spiritually, as well. We thank you, that you are leading us in the right direction, through the Truth of the Word. We give you praise. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
