05/14/24 A COMMON SENSE WARNING
A common sense warning.
Don't take physical sickness lightly. The very infection (or other minor ailment), which you think is unimportant can result in loss of limb, sight, and even death. It is not macho to ignore your physical problems and it is not spiritual to presume on God, to do for you, the very thing that God expects you to do for yourself.
Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and God expects us to take care of it. We cannot choose every thing that happens to us physically, but we must choose to be good stewards of God's temple.
Not taking care of our physical self is not only evidence that we don't honor God, but it puts the burden on other people to care for us in our disabled condition.
Don't ignore ailments that are attacking your community. God expects us to be wise. God expects us to take care of our material belongings and He requires us to take care of our body as well. A throw away attitude is a wasteful attitude. God will hold us accountable for wasting our earthly treasures, which He has bountifully provided for us, and He will hold us accountable for wasting our lives.
