The word of God is health for all your flesh

Proverbs 4:20-22 says: My son, pay attention to my words; incline your ear to my words. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the middle of your heart because they are life to those who find them and medicine to all their flesh. David was speaking the inspired word of God to his son; these were not his words because only the words of God can give life so what he is saying is that the word of God gives health to all your flesh both internally and externally.

When we meditate on the word of God and apply it in our life on sickness and disease, we do not have to worry about side effects because it is health for all our flesh. Now, I am certainly not against medicine and doctors; I am also a retired nurse and I know that man-made medicine has side effects. If one does not have enough faith to believe in his healing, then take the medicine; it can still cure the problem, but keep in mind that it can also cause other problems.

God has given man the knowledge of natural herbs for illness and it works, but man has taken the knowledge one step further and created a medicine that works in one way but harms in another; that’s why he will see the warning label on the package. The best thing to do is to apply the word of God on the disease. The second best thing to do is take herbs designed to cure that disease.

The word of God is not only health for us in case of illness and disease, but it is also a sustenance of life in every area of ​​our life. There is knowledge without the Spirit of God, but it leads to death or destruction, for example, someone may know how to commit a crime and if he does and is caught, he will have to pay the price of that crime. It could affect your future, your family, your livelihood and could even cause your death; all this is knowledge without the Spirit of God but there is knowledge with the Spirit of God and this knowledge leads to a fruitful life. God spoke these words to Joshua in Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. Because then you will make your way prosperous and everything will turn out well for you. It is obvious that when we observe the word of God and obey what He said then our way will be prosperous because in it there is life.

The word of God makes us whole in every way; it is health for all who seek him, because he likes to do good things for us. David said in Psalm 23: 1 the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want and Paul said in Philippians 4:19 and my God will supply all your needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus. These two scriptures are taken from the Old and New Testaments and both indicate that God will supply all our needs but will also grant us the desires of our hearts according to Psalm 34:7 which says Delight yourself also in the Lord and He will grant you the desires of your heart . Therefore, we can apply the word of God on ourselves as medicine to heal and we can apply it in our life for everything else that we need or want because it is health for all our flesh.
