Abusing The Body, Part 2
May 18, 2018
Did you know that your body is a servant? But if you abuse that servant, your body may rise up and smite you for it. You see, your body is very unforgiving.
Now, most folks value money more than they value health, isn’t that true? That is, until they lose their health. Many people spend the first half of their lives accumulating their wealth by wasting their health. Then they spend the last half of life spending their wealth trying to get their health back! And they’re unhappy in both halves of their lives.
When you willingly violate the natural laws God has made clear in the Bible, then if you’re not careful, you’ll become a burden to yourself and a burden to your family, and your family will become a burden to other people. Third John 1:2 says, " Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
