Today, I want to answer the question that comes up quite often. What does the Bible say about healthy living? This is a very important question, because it means we're looking for the truth. And that's what I'm going to share with you today.
Well, when we ask yourself, What does the Bible say about healthy living, it says a lot from a Genesis with the tree in the garden and the deed bearing fruit, and all the way to Revelation where we have the heat the leaves of the tree, which are healing for the nation.
So we've got our bookends, we've got Genesis, and we've got Revelation. Now we need to pull from the middle to gather the seeds, the nuts, the fruits, the vegetables to see what does the Bible say about healthy living? Well, remember back in Genesis in Genesis one God creates, and when he creates each day, he says, It is good. And good means in the original language of that scripture, it means excellent of its kind, valuable in estimation.
That means there's nothing that man can ever make, or try to make put together in a lab that's going to compare or compete with what God has given us. And so Scripture teaches us right away that not only is what he created, good, everything about the Earth is good. But we are good, we are excellent. The food he had given us is excellent, and his love and mercy is excellent.
So from the beginning, we know that healthy living is part of his plan. Otherwise, why would He create us this way? Why would he create our body to heal. And then that takes us into Exodus, and Exodus 15:26. It says, and I just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly. If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God, and you do what is right in his eyes. And if you pay attention to his commands, and keep all of his decree, and then get, I will not put on you any of the diseases. I brought on the Egyptians. And then here we go, here's the climax, for I am the Lord who heals you.
He cannot say he healed us. If our body was not designed to heal, he cannot say he healed us if he's not a God, who heals. So we start with this is what I've created for you. This is good. This is how you should eat. This is how you should live. And then he moves into excess. He says, Just watch me pay attention to me, I am the Lord who heals you.
In Deuteronomy 8, there is a list the seven foods. And then he says, and then you will be satisfied. And you will praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. God has given us a good land too. Now I know that some of you are in lands that are like, hey, and it is not that good here. I get that we don't all live in the Garden of Eden. And probably none of us do. We all have struggles, we have difficulties, we have financial strain, we have food that we can't figure out where to get that good. Yet the good land that he has given you. Yes, we're not going into the Promised Land, per se has, he provided it, but we are still within his hands. And that is our good land. We are within his in his purpose.
So he said so that you will be satisfied for the good land that I have given you that we go from what he has provided to how he has instructed us to live and how he has taught us to in our heart to be satisfied with what He has given us.
