"Wellness"
By Connie Pshigoda

Walking in God’s footsteps can only mean one thing: that we are walking in the light of His glory, strength, and wholeness.

I recently picked up a book that had spent many years tucked away on my library shelf – None of These Diseases by S. I. McMillen, M.D. It is not a recently published book, but the information is timeless.

If we are to “be in health,” then God’s health principles should be a part of our daily routine and lifelong habits. The top potentially fatal diseases are closely related to lifestyle. Many unfavorable health conditions stem from our leniency in following our Creator’s divine health disciplines.

One of the greatest detriments to overall optimum health is the inability to manage today’s numerous stressors. We live in an era of fast-paced activity that does not appear to be slowing. If we are to maintain our sacred temples as Scripture describes, then it is imperative that we look to the Prince of Peace to guide us through the maze of modern living.

God promised His chosen Israelites that He would inflict “none of these diseases” that struck the Egyptians if they would follow His promise for health, healing, and long life.

We can walk in that promise today – in our Master’s footsteps – and savor the highest level of health and wellness. Begin to cultivate holy health by walking on holy ground. Here are a few steps to begin your wellness walk:

• Walking is one of the best forms of exercise: it releases tension in the body and the mind.
• Choose “in-season” foods (like what God created in His garden) to prepare your family’s meals.
• Drink plenty of water in these warmer days to hydrate your “inner garden.”
• Rest in God’s Word daily; it promises peace and an untroubled heart! Step by step, God will lead you into a healthy, long life – if only you will follow in His footsteps.
