Why Total Wellness?

Isaiah 46:4 even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you;
I will sustain you and I will rescue you.

3 John 1:2 Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

Proverbs 3:1-2 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.

Why Total Wellness?

Total Wellness is the state we achieve when our mind, body and soul come together as one in health. For some they believe if they eat right and go to the gym they will achieve “total wellness” such is not the case. If our soul or spirit is not aligned with God’s word and we are not living according His word we are not and cannot achieve “total wellness”. The Bible reminds us: “My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity” (Proverbs 3:1-2NIV).

We can also take comfort in knowing we are not alone on our journey to “total wellness” for God has told us: “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you” (Isaiah 46:4NIV). He only asks that we do our part and He will help us along; we just need to have patience and realize that our journey takes time and not become discouraged when we don’t lose weight as quickly as we would like or when we have days when we don’t feel like working out or eating a nutritious meal. We all have those times!

So why should I work to try and achieve this? Because that is what God wants for each of us, a life that is filled with happiness in Him, a healthy mind, and a healthy body. The Bible reminds us: Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. (3 John 1:2NIV)
