Healthy are the pure in heart, for they shall put out vibes of peace. When your heart is healthy with God, there is a peace in your life. Even with difficult circumstances and difficult people, because you’re right and healthy with God, there is peace in the midst of drama and difficulty. If you don’t have the peace that you need, your heart may be unhealthy before God. You may be trusting in everything else but God, or you may feel a conviction that you have some spiritual heart trouble going on; but the truth is if you keep ignoring the warning signs and keep on living spiritually unhealthy, then that can only lead to a spiritual coronary. God wants you to be at peace. God wants you have an understanding of who He is as He has revealed Himself in the Bible. When you’re heart is right with God, then you shall see God at work in and around you, and gain an understanding of His Word, as you walk through the troubles of life with a great sense of peace.

From Series: "Healthy Vibes"

A new year provides a new focus on a new healthier you. To help us achieve our new convictions, this is usually accompanied by new year’s resolutions centered around weight loss, good looks, strong relationships, and financial prosperity. Things start off well in the beginning; however within a few days or weeks we begin to crack, and those well intended resolutions to form new habits become another failure to launch our dreams of health. With the failure we begin to send out unhealthy vibes to others. These vibes are messages we send with our attitudes and actions. Sending healthy vibes to others is important, that is why our game plan of health can’t be surface level. Get-fit-quick fixes and shallow Christianity simply won’t cut it; we need a deeper focus. Even with all of our advancements in healthy living and spiritual programming that we have today; the fact is that we can still stumble causing both our life message and faith to falter. Our plan of health needs to begin within our own hearts with God. With a focus on God, we can say as Psalm 73:26 says; “My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak, but God remains the strength of my heart; He is mine forever.” Our health fails, our spirits grow weak, and our resolutions falter; but with an inward focus on God we can still send the right messages with our attitudes and actions and have healthy vibes. New year’s resolutions show that we have a desire to change, but how do we move past surface level resolutions? The key is making all of our desire to see change and improvement all about God and His purposes. As we seek to be disciplined in our walk with God, the rest of the areas in our lives will benefit. Resolve to make it all about God and His purposes; and then, and only then, will we be sending out the healthy vibes that reflect genuine health and honor God.
