Repent For Better Health
Contributed by John Bright on Mar 10, 2025 (message contributor)
Since this is the season of Lent, it’s a good time to repent of the unhealthy habits we have developed over the years. That means we tell God: “You’re right, and I’m wrong.” That’s the beginning of repentance. Then we need to make a plan. There’s an old saying: Those who fail to plan, plan to fail. Start with little baby steps of removing some processed food from your diet and eating one more fruit of veggie. Take a little walk or get on YouTube and find a video for chair exercises. Try setting a time to go to sleep and stick to it. Get a Bible reading plan and spend 15 minutes a day in God’s Word – then sit still for 2 or 3 minutes and ask God to show you one thing in that reading you need in your life. These are all just suggestions to get you started.
