Incorporating Scriptural Prescriptions into Daily life to Transform Your Health Journey
In our everyday lives, we all want to be healthy, feel good, and be happy. But sometimes, life can be stressful, and we may not always know the best ways to take care of our bodies and minds. What if there was a simple way to improve our health using wisdom that has been around for thousands of years? This wisdom comes from the Bible, and it’s something everyone can use, no matter how old they are.
Kimberly McCowan’s book, “Daily Scriptions: Devotionals with Prescriptions for Health from Scriptures in the Bible,” shows us how to use the teachings from the Bible to help us stay healthy. In this article, we’ll explore how you can take these “scriptions” (spiritual prescriptions) and make them a part of your daily life to improve your health and well-being.
What Are Scriptural Prescriptions?
A prescription is something a doctor gives you to help you get better when you’re sick. It could be medicine or advice like “get more rest” or “drink plenty of water.” A scriptural prescription is similar, but instead of coming from a doctor, it comes from the Bible. The Bible is entire of wisdom that can guide us in living healthier, happier lives. These scriptural prescriptions are like instructions from God on how to take care of ourselves.
For example, one of the scriptural prescriptions is to “cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). This means that when we’re feeling worried or stressed, we can pray and give those worries to God, trusting that He will take care of us.
Why Are Scriptural Prescriptions Important?
Just like taking care of our bodies with good food and exercise, it’s essential to take care of our minds and spirits. When we feel stressed, worried, or sad, it can affect our physical health too. The Bible teaches us ways to keep our minds and spirits healthy, which in turn helps our bodies stay healthy.
For instance, Proverbs 17:22 says, “A cheerful heart is a good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.” This verse reminds us that having a positive attitude and being happy can actually help us feel better physically. On the other hand, feeling sad or discouraged all the time can make us feel worse.
By following the scriptural prescriptions found in the Bible, we can learn how to manage stress, find peace, and improve our overall health.
How to Incorporate Scriptural Prescriptions into Your Daily life
Now that we understand what scriptural prescriptions are and why they are essential let’s talk about how we can use them in our everyday lives. Here are some simple steps to help you get started:
Start Your Day with a Scripture
Begin each day by reading a verse from the Bible that encourages and uplifts you. This could be a verse about strength, peace, or trust in God. For example, Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” This verse can remind you that even when you’re tired or feeling down, God gives you the strength to keep going.
After reading the verse, take a moment to think about what it means and how you can apply it to your day. You might even want to memorize it so you can think about it throughout the day.
Pray Throughout the Day
Prayer is a powerful way to connect with God and bring peace to your mind. You don’t have to wait until bedtime to pray; you can talk to God anytime, anywhere. If you’re feeling stressed or worried, take a moment to pray and ask God for help. Remember what Philippians 4:6 says: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Prayer can help you feel calmer and more focused, which is good for your overall health.
Practice Gratitude
The Bible encourages us to be thankful for the good things in our lives. Being grateful can make us happier and healthier. Each day, try to think of at least three things you’re thankful for. It could be something as simple as a sunny day, a kind word from a friend, or a delicious meal.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 reminds us to “give thanks in all circumstances,” which means we should always look for reasons to be thankful, even on tough days. Gratitude helps us focus on the positive and keeps our hearts light.
Take Care of Your Body
The Bible teaches us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). This means that taking care of our bodies is important. You can do this by eating healthy foods, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep.
When you take care of your body, you’re also taking care of the gift that God has given you. This is a way of honoring God and showing gratitude for the life He has blessed you with.
End Your Day with Reflection
Before going to bed, take a few minutes to reflect on your day. Think about the good things that happened and the challenges you faced. You can also read another scripture that gives you peace and comfort, like Psalm 4:8: “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.”
Reflecting on your day and ending it with scripture helps you go to sleep with a peaceful mind and heart, which is vital for getting a good night’s rest.
The Benefits of Following Scriptural Prescriptions
When you make scriptural prescriptions a part of your daily routine, you’ll start to notice positive changes in your life. Here are some of the benefits:
Reduced Stress: By giving your worries to God through prayer and focusing on positive scriptures, you’ll feel less stressed and more at peace.
Better health: A positive mindset, gratitude, and taking care of your body all contribute to better physical health.
Improved Relationships: When you’re more patient, kind, and grateful, it helps improve your relationships with others.
Stronger Faith: Regularly engaging with scripture strengthens your faith and helps you grow closer to God.
