The Little Things

April 15, 2015

Hello! Today I have a post by Victoria for you all as part of my “Healthy Little Things Series” where readers share the little things they do to keep themselves healthy. If you have something you do that you think others might benefit from, please contact me! I’d love to have you share as well! 🙂

“When you know that something is wrong in your body, you want to go to somebody who knows anatomy…you want an expert on the human body to deal with the situation…Where will you go when your soul begins to malfunction?” Iain D. Campbell

I came across that line in Campbell’s 30 page booklet on Psalm 73. Before I even considered his question, God had been answering it. The short answer is this: Go to God. He is the one who created your soul, sustains your soul, and knows your soul. It only follows that you should go to Him.

The matter of how you are to go to God is equally important. You must go to Him by His Word, which is, the Bible. As we know, the Bible holds everything we need. It is through this living Word that we meet with God. There is nothing mystical or strange about it. This Word was breathed out by God and, like everything around us, it does what He wills.

You cannot know the health that this Word will bring to your soul until you devote yourself to come to it consistently as one of God’s people. I challenge you to begin today! If you’ve never done it, you’ll have to trust me. Make it a priority and be prepared to marvel as the God over all ministers to your soul.

I leave you with these words from Matthew which were spoken by Jesus Christ as He relied upon this principle even as He was tempted in the desert by Satan after having fasted for 40 days and 40 nights:

He [Jesus Christ] answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4

If your soul is healthy, praise God! If your soul feels like it is rotting away inside of you, seek God and take yourself to His Word! There’s only one way to truly tend to the health of your soul and that is to stay close to the One who made it yours.
