Spiritual Health
"Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody
in your heart to the Lord; 20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father
in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 5:19, 20

Total wellness is manifested in health of body, mind and spirit. Spiritual health is the result of spending time with God in prayer and in His word.
Spiritual life consists in Christ's being the light and life of the soul temple, as the blood is the life of the body. All who study the word are represented as eating the word, feeding on Christ...Even as the bodily necessities must be supplied daily, so the word of God must be daily studied--eaten, and digested, and practiced. This sustains the nourishment to keep the soul in health. The neglect of the word means starvation to the soul. The word describes the blessed man as one meditating day and night upon the truths of God's word. "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2) But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." Psalms 1:1, 2
We all are to feast upon the word of God. The relation of the word to the believer is a vital matter. Appropriating the word to our spiritual necessities is eating of the leaves of the tree of life that are for the healing of the nations (Rev. 22:2).
Pray, study the word, and practice the word, for it is your life.
