Meditate
On
My
son, give attention to my words…Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep
them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and
health to all their flesh.
Proverbs
4:20–22
Get God’s Medicine In You
One
of my heroes from the 1800s is a man of faith called George Muller. With faith
in God, he built five large orphanages and housed some 2,000 orphans annually.
He never asked a soul for money, but brought every need before the Lord. He
literally prayed in millions of dollars throughout his life to keep those
orphanages going.
Muller
did the Lord’s work tirelessly each day. At age 70, he even began a 17-year
period of missionary travels and preached in almost 40 countries. He travelled
more than 200,000 miles, an incredible achievement during pre-aviation times.
At age 93, after being visited by two much younger friends, he later commented
with gratefulness to God that he was much more energetic than them, with no
aches or pains.
My
friend, do you want to know what one of Muller’s secret to a long and healthy
life was? It was his love of immersing himself in the Scriptures, and his life
was a testimony of the constant recuperative power the Word exercised over or
upon his whole being!
If
your health has been poor lately, get into the Word. Ask the Lord to give you a
renewed love for His Word. Saturate your heart and mind with His life-giving
words each day. You can start by reading the healing miracles of Jesus. See His
love and compassion for the sick, and His willingness to heal them. Write down
a couple of healing scriptures and meditate on them, speaking them over your
body and keeping them in the midst of your heart. Beloved, you will find that
God’s Word is indeed life and health to your entire being!
Blessings,
Joseph Prince
