Proverbs 3:7-8 - "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones."
I love this verse. A righteous life brings health and nourishment to our bodies. This is so true. When we do right, we are not plagued with guilt which is detrimental to our physical and mental health. We are not plagued with worry and stress that someone will uncover our sin. In other words a clear conscience produces enables a healthy body. The Bible says do not worry. Worry effects our health badly.
Also, there are many sins in this world that are not healthy for the body. Many sexual sins bring disease. Alcoholism and smoking is detrimental to our health. Gluttony is unhealthy as well. Thieving, cheating, and lying hurts our relationships. It even can bring physical reprisal. We are a relational people. If they are not good, it takes a tole on our bodies.
Let us live righteous and health lives.
