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 sickness away from the midst of you.
He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds.
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
When Jesus heard that, He said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are 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.
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit whois in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come.
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
It will be health to your flesh,
And strength 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 merry heart does good, like medicine,
But a broken spirit dries the bones.
Pleasant words arelike a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But when the desire comes, itis a tree of life.
Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,
And put away evil from your flesh,
For childhood and youth are vanity.
