Pursuit of Happiness - Part 11


In all of our general pursuit of happiness in life, health seems to play a huge factor in how we feel.
Take health away from any life and it is definitely more of a challenge to be happy.

I know this personally.
Having spent all this week laid up with a chest infection, raging temperatures, headaches, coughing...I probably don’t need to go one...I wasn’t feeling very happy!

When health is taken away somehow, you lose more that your health…
It takes away your choices.
It takes away whatever is normal to you.
It robs you of life and I think steals away happiness.

If you are reading this and feeling healthy in yourself then you should thank God for that reality.
It is something to be thankful for,
It is something that should make you happy…

A guy called John wrote this…
Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

Jesus also cares about peoples health!
If you look at all the miracles recorded in the Gospels, 3/4’s of them were healing related.
That is because without health, you don’t seem to be able to enjoy life. God knows that and God is more than able to deal with this issue in these mortal bodies.

Acts 10:38 says this about Jesus...
...he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

If you are in need of healing this week, check in with the One who has the power to heal you.

Something to think about…
