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
