"Do no be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones."
Proverbs 3:7-8
The margin reading for "flesh" is "naval." My belly-button is not a thing of beauty, but it is a continual reminder that at one point I was totally dependent on someone other than myself for my very existence. Fear of the LORD brings me to that reality – I need God. He is my source of health and strength -- my very life. Ego, conceit, flesh, and pride – these are all enemies of my spiritual health. They make me wise in my own sight. Remember – the middle letter of pride and sin is "I."
Today's Thought: Fear of God gives a proper perspective of my own self.
Have a healthy day. Love you.
