Proverbs 14: 30,31 (NIV)
A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones. He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors GOD.
MAY YOUR HEART LIVE IN PEACE.
These two verses of Scripture are very strong, "in your face" words of the LORD. If you want to live a good life, than keep peace in your heart. The only way to peace is through the work of the Holy Spirit, transforming your heart and mind into the way of the LORD. The fruit of the Holy Spirit is: love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, meekness, faith and temperance. The way to peace is for the Holy Spirit to dwell in you, richly.
Envy rots the bones. All of the unclean ways eat away at the body. It is a known fact that unforgiveness is the root of arthritis and mental illness. It is also true that lies, envy and hatred cause grief and gloom, muscle aches and headaches. Yes. envy rots the bones.
Did you know that if your oppress, torment or ignore the poor that you are showing contempt for GOD, but when you are kind to the poor, you honor GOD? This should be a "check-point" for our life in Christ JESUS; be kind and caring to the poor, be Christ to those who live in poverty and you will honor GOD.
Your body responds to your thoughts. When your mind is stayed on JESUS and His Holy Word, then your whole being will be sound and health will be in your mind and body. Pastor Randy said, "Your body transforms to what you think." Think on the LORD day and night and let your mind be fixed on Him, because you trust in Him.
