When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [14] 11/29/2025 (Morning thought)

2nd Chronicles 20:20 And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the Lord your God, so shall you be established; believe his prophets, so shall you prosper.

Not only does much information come from the prophets of God, but the health industry is full of instructions as to how we can avoid or stave off health problems. Take for instance the Scriptural instruction given on the eating of sweets, to help in preventing diabetes and sweet diseases that have become so rampant in our day, and which now have persons looking to GLPs as a savior in many instances. As the bible says, we are going to study line upon line and precept upon precept.

Proverbs 24: 13 My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste…. Proverbs 25:16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest you be filled therewith, and vomit it…. Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

When taken together as a whole, the three passages declare that honey is good, but it should be taken in quantities that are warranted, and then the warning is given about overindulgence in sweets. The word “vomit” refers to the adverse effects it will have on the one who overindulges in sweets. And then the prophets amplify that which Solomon wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit so that we can have a broader understanding of the issues of prevention and cure. No need to demonize honey as if it can troll us without our choice in the matter.

1st Corinthians 9: 25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

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

When Your Back Is against The Wall. Part [13] 11/29/2025 (Evening thought)

1st Corinthians 10: 31 Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatsoever you do, do all to the glory of God.

These things are to be accomplished through God’s power working in us through His Holy Spirit, but The Spirit of God does not override intelligent deliberate choice. Everything, including health, always involves self-denial and cooperation if it is to become reality. This is what is included in walking humbly with God. This means that there will be some things we might have to give up, and there may be things we’ll have to start doing, in order to be fully aligned with God’s revealed will.

If we don’t, the scriptural version of health will become an elusive dream. In satan’s version of health, you do not have to give up anything, and if your current condition has been the result of any habit or practice that was contrary to God’s revealed will, no changes are required. Not so with God’s health care plan, for in whatever we do, the Christian should be seeking out His ideal will, not looking for loop holes whereby we continue to indulge our cravings contrary His will.

 This leads to our second point in God’s health care plan: [2] Prevention is always better than cure. When sickness and disease come our way, diligent search should be made as to whether or not we’ve contributed to the problem by our choices and our actions, and if so, definite and permanent changes are to be made, no matter how painful they might be. Very many diseases, ailments or adverse conditions that exist today are actually preventable.

Matthew 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

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