Keep the Soul

Proverbs 22:1-5, Deuteronomy 4:9, Psalms 42:11, 62:1, Isaiah 40:31,  Jeremiah 29:13, Matthew 22:37

People do many things to keep from getting sick and diseases.  It is true that many people take numerous pills, drink various mixtures, and do a great variety of exercises to be healthy and strong.  This may be necessary and good but the believer must not forget or ignore the needs of the soul to be healthy and strong.  A follower and believer should:

• Read the Bible daily

• Study, memorize, and meditate in and on the Bible

• Pray much

• Examine the heart and life for anything that is contrary to the Bible

• Deal with sins of the heart and life as the Holy Spirit leads

•  Trust the Lord in all things

It is tragic that believers live as if a “little” of God and His Word is all they need. The need is great and spending time in the Word and with the Lord strengthens and keeps the soul.

Prayer. Lord, open the eyes of my soul to see that which I must do to strengthen my trust in You and keep my soul.
