If God has graciously given us our health, we must continue in praise and thanksgiving for such an honor. In this world where sickness abounds and death draws near, health is a rare jewel that many possess but few appreciate. To have legs with which to walk to the store, to breathe deep the crisp morning air, to have strength enough to get out of bed in the morning, all these are graces we are too quick to take for granted.
Those who appreciate health are often those who’ve been ill, who’ve needed surgery, who are happy to be alive. These are the grateful ones for being given a clean bill of health after a long season of sickness. If we are able-bodied and without pain, let us be thankful to our merciful God and use our health for His glory by serving those who cannot do so themselves. Amen.
