October 13 – A Peaceful Heart Gives Life
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” Proverbs 14:30
This is a powerful life verse. Envy rots the bones. In the Hebrew it literally means envy makes the bones disintegrate. There is a connection between the spiritual and the physical. Our body, soul, spirit are intricately connected. What our mind soaks up has an impact on our health. If your heart is at peace, it gives life to the body. Envy/anger/jealousy, negative emotions cause the bones of the body to disintegrate. We often get ailments such as arthritis, heart problems, etc. due to a negative mindset – though not always, but a lot of times.
Some things we can do to maintain an environment to a peaceful heart
Develop a deeper relationship with God. Spend time with Him. In His presence, we get peace.
Dwell on good things, the Word of God teaches us do this. Read things that inspire us, fill us with hope and joy.
Forgive. We get healing and peace when we forgive. In the recent shootout, a father declared that he had forgiven his son’s killer. Such forgiveness can only come from a man who is already at peace in his heart. We have to forgive others too. Ephesians 4:32 says, “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted and gentle, forgiving one another as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.” There are people who are suffering physically because they are angry, bitter and refuse to forgive.
Cultivate a heart to see the supernatural, ask God to show you things beyond the natural. A life in the Holy Spirit enables this.
When we see glimpses of eternity, even in daily life, our perspectives enlarge and we develop new lines in our brain and start to think more
Some folks even have seen angels, or visions, the connection with the Holy Spirit heals us filling us with joy, we think of Heaven, which enables us to let go of the petty things we hold on to in life.
