Thought for the Week from AMUA
Sunday 25 JULY 2021
Health and healing
‘A healthy mind in a healthy body’ or ‘as long as you’ve got your health’: what are we thinking when we say these things? Perhaps our minds govern our bodies. Perhaps health is the clue to Salvation. The psalmist seems to be saying that God does not abandon us even though Judaism did teach that sickness was a punishment from God for sin. Isaiah prophesied that the God ‘makes weal and creates woe’.
Isaiah 45:6.
We are flawed humanity and we worship God the Creator and endeavour not to make idols of our bodies or our minds.
The Lord sustains them on their sickbed; in their illness you heal all their infirmities Psalm 41:3
Mothers’ Union in Canada is committed to assisting parents and all who care for children to do one of the most important jobs in the world – to bring up healthy children in healthy families. Their program is called Parents Supporting Parents. It’s all about building positive relationships in families. It’s about exploring communication – talking and listening. It’s a program for every family.
