Our Theme for the day: “The fruit of Submission” Part 2

 

Our Devotional

 

Personal religion and good health is of the highest importance. John wrote to Gaius, when he said under inspiration, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth" 3 John 2. So what is Personal religion when it comes to Bible truth? Personal religion is the outgrowth of an inward change of the mind from sin to righteousness. In other words, personal religion revealed by our words, and actions, or by in simple words our deportment. Personal religion causes growth in the Christian, till at last perfection claims the commendation of the Lord, “Ye are complete in Him" Colossians 2:10. Isn’t it interesting how in every generation there has been men who have encourage their generation to seek purity of religion through personal works, but this is false.

Paul reminds us that our righteousness is, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit” Titus 3:5. In looking at the second part of the text John was concern with the health of the Christian. Pure and undefiled religion doesn’t just lead to an outgrowth of an inward change of the mind from sin to righteousness, but to works of mercy and love also. This religion is necessary to good health and happiness. Good health allows the servant of God to go further and bear longer the load of Christian duty. Good health also complements the spiritual growth by helping to open the window of the soul heavenward, letting in the sunshine of God's love. It is through this two fold union that the Christian has true serenity and composure of the mind.

When the child of God’s soul is prospering, then will their physical, mental, and moral strength increase, because the atmosphere of heaven as a living active agency fills the soul. Finally, when Christ Jesus is formed within the mind there is no fear. Here are three practical ways to overcome your fears.

1. Take out time to Exercise.

Those who work with people who are mentally challenged say, “Physical activity boosts the immune system and strengthens the mind and body. When you exercise, your body releases endorphins that help promote a healthy mind and body. Exercise can also take your mind off your worries.

2. Take time to set short and long term goals. Taking out time first thing in the morning to set your goals for the day is important to overcome your fears. Psalm 5:3 says, “My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.” A. Be specific, with your short term, and long term goals. B. Keep it simple. C. Try to complete your work for the day. The more you complete in a given day, the more confident you'll become in the Lord. Confidence is a powerful tool for removing fear.

3. Take time to talk about your success. Most leaders agree when they say, “Fears can multiply when you bottle them up inside you. When you let fear build, it snowballs and gets bigger and bigger until it becomes terrifying to you.” Taking time to talk about your fear with the Lord, and or someone you can trust can help relieve the pressure of fear and give you the confidence you need to move on.
