August 18 – Proverbs 14:30

Proverbs 14:30
A heart at peace gives life to the body. (NIV)
A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body.

Science keeps finding new evidence that what Solomon said was true. This verse goes on to say that envy (or jealousy and wrath) rots our bones. Maybe much more literally than we thought years ago. A calm, peaceful heart really does contribute to our health. That’s nice to know, IF you know how to HAVE a calm, peaceful mind! My first thought is to go to Philippians 4:6-7. Don’t worry. Be thankful. Tell God what you need (specifically, if you can). And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
