Maintaining good health is one of the things you must ensure if you want to have a long and successful life.

Mark 6:31 MSG

Jesus said, “Come off by yourselves; let’s take a break and get a little rest.” For there was constant coming and going. They didn’t even have time to eat.’

* EXAMINE HOW YOU'VE BEEN TREATING YOUR BODY SO FAR, AND IDENTIFY AREAS WHERE YOU NEED TO MAKE CHANGES.

It’s very important to be hardworking and diligent at your studies and other things you do, but you must also realise that the human body has a limit to the exertion it can endure. You can’t just keep working endlessly and not make some time out to rest.

Working yourself beyond the limits will cause your health to decline. So, it’s very important that you take good care of your body, not only in terms of what you eat, but also in making sure your body is well rested.

The Bible tells us how God blessed and sanctified the seventh day, because on that day He rested from all the work of creating that He had done (Genesis 2:3). Our theme scripture also shows us how Jesus took time off with His disciples to get some rest. On another occasion, the Bible says, “…Jesus, tired as He was from His journey, sat down [to rest] by the well…(John 4:6 AMP). The Master rested because He was tired. So, it’s not abnormal for you to get tired, but when you do, get some rest so your body can recover. Many don’t do this, and the implication is that they stand the risk of wearing out their bodies. Taking time off to rest is a way to maintain good health; so take it seriously and plan for it.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. CHALLENGES ARE YOUR OPPORTUNITIES - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME PHD FRIDAY, MAY 6TH 2016.

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children...No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it (Hebrews 12:7-11 NIV). The Bible says, "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him..." (2 Chronicles 16:9). That means He's watching and looking for opportunities to manifest His glory on your behalf. He never leaves you alone. He never lets you down. He's moved with the feeling of our infirmities (Hebrews 4:15). He knows when you go through pain, and seeks to get you out of every predicament. Every human need is God's opportunity to bless. He wants to meet every human need. Actually, He's already done that in Christ Jesus, but some are yet to fully understand and accept what He's done. When you have a problem, when you...
