But guess what? I've decided to take proactive steps and turn things around. So, I delved into my Bible to explore my Word "healthy" in a fresh and positive light, aiming to infuse some renewed energy into the month of October.
3 Bible verses about health (or healthy)
What I discovered was both inspiring and transformative. I embarked on a Bible search, focusing on "healthy," and stumbled upon these three remarkable verses:
These verses unveiled a fresh understanding of "healthy." It's not confined to diet and exercise alone but encompasses the mending of emotional wounds and nurturing my spiritual connection. This renewed insight has transformed my perception of "healthy" a little bit.
- Psalm 147:3: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit... Glorify God in your body and in your spirit."
- Matthew 9:1: "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick."
These verses unveiled a fresh understanding of "healthy." It's not confined to diet and exercise alone but encompasses the mending of emotional wounds and nurturing my spiritual connection. This renewed insight has transformed my perception of "healthy" a little bit.
What does this mean for my "healthy" journey?
It involves tuning in to my body's signals, recognizing its limits, and prioritizing rest in our fast-paced world. But there's another side to this journey that deeply resonates with me. It's the daily confrontation with the brokenness in the world, my family, and my own life. While I focus on my physical well-being and tackle immunity and histamine issues, I'm reminded of the imperfections in our world by the brokenness I encounter daily.
Psalm 147
That's why... in my "healthy" journey, Psalm 147:3 holds deep spiritual significance. It reminds me that amidst life's brokenness, there's a Divine Healer who can mend my heart and bind my wounds. It's about discovering spiritual healing and solace in a chaotic and imperfect world. 🌟❤️

Back on my knees
As Matthew 9:1 reminds me, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick." It's not just my loved ones who may have turned away or followed different paths. I too need Him, every hour, as my Healer. This truth beautifully aligns with my One Word: "healthy." So... back on my knees, no, no not in the physical sense for my knees would surely protest, but in the tender disposition of my heart."
How long has it been since you talked with the LordAnd told him your heart’s hidden secrets?How long since you prayed?How long since you stayedOn your knees till the [dawn broke] through? [1]

I love how you've expanding "healthy" to include more than just the normal diet and exercise that we associate with healthy. Our body is so intricately designed for all parts to work together well: body, mind, and soul, and we need good health for all of it. Not easy to always keep balanced! :) But a wonderful practice and goal!
