Daniel

Fascinating Story in the BIBLE about our health. Read the whole story in Daniel Chapter 1

Vegetables

Daniel 1:12-17
"Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13) Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see." 14 ) So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. 15) At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food. 16) So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead. 17) To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.

Power

Exodus 14:14

¹⁴ The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.

Power in Prayer?

Do you recall a time when God answered your prayers?

I do.

Do you recall a time when God didn't answer your prayers?

I do.

God freed the Israelis when the were slaves. But they forgot what he did for them and started to complain on the way to the Promise Land (we know where he was leading them, but they didn't.... ). Nevertheless, they forgot they were FREE. They needed to trust God. Trust if he freed them, that meant he loved them... trust Him that he had a plan for them... for GOOD, not evil.

Well, They murmured in the desert in spite the fact they saw the miracles. Parting of the Red sea? Wow. Dropping Manna from heaven for food? Leading them during the day by a cloud and at night by the stars.

I think I want to remember what God has done for me, not what he hasn't done.

I think I want to live in appreciation for what he has PLANNED for me, even when I don't understand it.

I think I want to live in his protection! Watching for the signs he has to GUIDE ME through the wilderness!

I think, I think.... I think to much? No, I think not enough about his Glory and Mercy in my life.

God, forgive me today for Murmuring in the desert and help me remember YOU DO HAVE A PLAN FOR ME!

Salute! To YOUR health and Wellness

me

Proverbs 23:7

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he

My mind feeds my heart

My heart feeds my mind

My mind and heart feed my body.

I am not who I say I am, but Who I am

I am, is my choice

I am my mind and heart

What I feed my mind and heart is my choice

I choose to feed my mind and heart TRUTH

When I choose Truth

Then I will be who I want to be

Me

Looking forward?

Genesis 19:26

But Lot's wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

Today I will meditate upon this thought.

I must trust the Lord, living in the moment and looking forward. I will not be robbed of my Joy today by looking back! I can not change the past nor should I.

I should learn from the past. Grow from it. As if it were seeds in my soul.

As I look towards the future I must also LIVE IN THE MOMENT. For this moment is a gift. A Present from God. Living in the "Present". My Trust and Hope is in HIM!

MY PRAYER TODAY:

God, Today....

may I live as a strong determined Child of the living God.

Living in the moment facing the future and learning from my past.

AMEN!

SALUTE! To your health and Wellness

PS

"God lives in the Praises of his People" Invite him into your moment.

To thine own self be true

Oh, come on now...... I always say "oh, I don't eat that much!"

But, yikes! I added up the few measly things I ate today and a whopping 1900 calories.

Ridiculous!

"This above all: to thine own self be true" Shakespeare

Tomorrow will be a day of more thoughtful choices. I will keep in mind that food is a "fuel" for my bodies health.

My well being is my spiritual walk! Only HE can truly satisfy!

Salute!
