Saúde
A saúde é uma bênção de Deus. A Bíblia ensina que Deus é nosso curador, que devemos cuidar do corpo como templo do Espírito e que a alegria do Senhor renova nossas forças.
Deus, o nosso curador
O Senhor é quem sara todas as nossas doenças. Ele prometeu abençoar o pão e a água e tirar as enfermidades do meio do seu povo.
So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take away sickness from among you.
He heals the brokenhearted
and binds up their wounds.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.
O corpo como templo
Nosso corpo é templo do Espírito Santo. A Bíblia nos encoraja a cuidar da saúde física com disciplina e reverência a Deus.
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come.
Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health, as your soul also prospers.
Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and turn away from evil.
This will bring healing to your body
and refreshment to your bones.
A alegria que cura
O coração alegre é bom remédio. A esperança do coração traz alegria, e as palavras agradáveis são como favo de mel — doçura para a alma e saúde para o corpo.
A joyful heart is good medicine,
but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
So banish sorrow from your heart,
and cast off pain from your body,
for youth and vigor are fleeting.
