Trying to look good


Proverbs 3:7-8            New English Translation

7 Do not be wise in your own estimation;

fear the LORD and turn away from evil.

8 This will bring healing to your body,

and refreshment to your inner self.

 

Workout 

 

Fit in the body, fit in the mind, and well-developed bodies

Temples for the taking, if God is not ruling there

Every race and every kindred gather in the morning

To point out without faking the priorities in their sphere

 

God came to set us free from the bondage of Satan

Satan had the power of death, but where now is its sting?

Sickness is often the step before death will be instigated

Through the permissive will of God can Satan’s power swing

 

A major question lingers, will God only let us have

The things we desire in the cravings of our hearts

It seems a contradiction to a reality appearing

For all of us desire health and that’s a major part
