VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. How to be healthy and have strong bones? Don't get the physical benefits but take advantage of getting both: physical and spiritual benefit in which the latter is more desirous than the first.
Accept JESUS as your own LORD, MASTER and SAVIOR and you will have eternal life here on earth and heaven. Enjoy this benefit more than the physical benefit it will give you while you're here on earth: healthy body and strong bones. These are given to you so you can be used by GOD in His ministry here on earth.
1. Trust the LORD.
Proverbs 3:5 (Amplified Bible)
3:5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
2. Don't lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 (Amplified Bible)
3:5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
3. Acknowledge GOD in all your ways.
Proverbs 3:6 (Amplified Bible)
3:6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
4. Don't be wise in your own eyes.
Proverbs 3:7 (Amplified Bible)
3:7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.
5. Fear the LORD
Proverbs 3:7 (Amplified Bible)
3:7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.
Fear of the LORD is JESUS CHRIST. Let CHRIST's influence become stronger than what the world can offer - fear. Consider fear vs faith as see-saw. If one is on top, then the other is at bottom. If fear is on top, you can't operate in faith; if faith is on top, you can't operate in fear.
6. Depart from evil
Proverbs 3:7 (Amplified Bible)
3:7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.
Evil will not leave you, you leave evil alone.
Illustration: Beer drinkers say always that they can't stop drinking, they profess they loved GOD dearly but can't avoid drinking alcohol, but they're inside a club or a place where alcohols are being served.
7. Let the LORD direct your paths.
Let the HOLY SPIRIT guide and lead you in every way, manner and circumstances you face. Agree to be led by GOD. Consent to GOD's will.
Proverbs 3:6 (Amplified Bible)
3:6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Romans 8:14 (Amplified Bible)
8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Galatians 5:18 (Amplified Bible)
5:18 But if you are guided (led) by the [Holy] Spirit, you are not subject to the Law.
LET GOD use you in the ministry, that will make you more healthy and get stronger bones.
Matthew 10:39 (Amplified Bible)
10:39 Whoever finds his [lower] life will lose it [the higher life], and whoever loses his [lower] life on My account will find it [the higher life].
Matthew 16:25 (Amplified Bible)
16:25 For whoever is bent on saving his [temporal] life [his comfort and security here] shall lose it [eternal life]; and whoever loses his life [his comfort and security here] for My sake shall find it [life everlasting].
Mark 8:35 (Amplified Bible)
8:35 For whoever wants to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].
Luke 9:23-24 (Amplified Bible)
9:23 And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also].
9:24 For whoever would preserve his life and save it will lose and destroy it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he will preserve and save it [from the penalty of eternal death].
John 12:25-26 (Amplified Bible)
12:25 Anyone who loves his life loses it, but anyone who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal. [Whoever has no love for, no concern for, no regard for his life here on earth, but despises it, preserves his life forever and ever.]
12:26 If anyone serves Me, he must continue to follow Me [to cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying] and wherever I am, there will My servant be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.
Illustration: What will I advise a dying man? I will ask him if he wants to serve the LORD, then I will let him accept JESUS as LORD and SAVIOR, and then give him a ministry so he will live longer, healthier and stronger.
IX. CONCLUSION:
But most of all - desire JESUS. He will give you healthy body and strong bones so that He can use you in the ministry.
Illustration: A healthy and strong teenager refuses to attend worship services because his alibi is he's still strong, he will attend if he's old, now he's old, and his alibi is he's old, he can no longer attend.
Ecclesiastes 12:1 (Amplified Bible)
12:1 REMEMBER [earnestly] also your Creator [that you are not your own, but His property now] in the days of your youth, before the evil days come or the years draw near when you will say [of physical pleasures], I have no enjoyment in them—
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You have already given me healthy body and strong bones, You are my maintenance.
