Beware of The Chair. Part [11] 06/11/2025 (Evening thought)

Genesis 2:8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 15 And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

When God created Adam and Eve, He put them to work in the garden of Eden, where their limbs, and bones, muscles and tendons, together with all their arteries and blood vessels could be exercised. And even after man fell by transgression, the toils and labor required to work an increasingly stubborn soil would cause him to exert much more energy and effort, but the upside is that the manual labor thus required would go a long way in maintaining good health and longevity as well as mitigating the many perils incidental to our fallen human nature.

Hence the reason why, even after man sinned, you will find that individuals lived for hundreds of years, and it was only because of the constant and the deliberate violation of physical, and spiritual laws, that we gradually declined to three score and ten…. [Christian Education, pp 68] There is an intimate relation between the mind and the body; they react upon each other. In order, to reach a high standard of moral and intellectual attainment, and to secure a strong, well-balanced character, the laws that control our physical being must be heeded.

Both the mental, and the physical powers must be developed. Such a training will produce men of strength and solidity of character, of keen perception and sound judgment, men who will be an honor to God and a blessing to the world. “Therefore, in our efforts to get moving again there are a few pointers that would greatly help us on our journey. They are outlined below in simple format, and if adopted, would go a long way in reversing, or in slowing the advance of many physical issues folks suffer with.

Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

Beware of The Chair. Part [10] 06/10/2025 (Morning thought)

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sins, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

In many cases persons will find that children are not actually bound in an iron destiny, from which they cannot escape, as it pertains to many of the issues branded as being generational, or as running in the family. In other words, just because something runs in your family does not mean that you will inevitably have no choice whatsoever in the matter. This truth is of critical importance as it would set the stage for us to make the meaningful reforms and changes where in times past, our progenitors may have erred.

In other words, The Lord is saying to the you and me in the here and now to consider your ways, for if it is the case that one’s family is plagued with particular health issues, God desires that you reason carefully from cause to effect, and by His grace, make all the necessary changes to encourage a different, and a better outcome wherever possible.  But to throw in the towel up front, and reason that you absolutely have no choice but to walk the same road that your progenitors trod, will be to surrender potential victory, even before the battle has begun.

Thus, by thinking inevitability, you most likely will go on to become the servants of big Pharma. For instance, if you observed that your parents led a sedentary lifestyle, and were addicted to the chair, the mouse, and the cell, the three Amigos we spoke about earlier, those who come after should make a U-turn, and determine never to submit to the three amigos.

Ezekiel 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
