How to Get Sick: Start Jogging

Prayer Dear Lord -- Please remind me that Your wisdom is available to me if I just take the time to pray, read Your word and listen for You. In Jesus' name, I pray.

Exercise

In The Maker's Diet, Rubin dedicates a chapter to getting sick, How to Get Sick: A Modern Prescription for Illness. In it he says that doing aerobic exercise is one way to get sick. He writes, "While I believe strongly in the need for regular exercise, my research indicates that high-intensity aerobic exercise producing a very high elevated heart rate for long periods of time through vigorous exercise such as jogging or runing on hard surfaces is essentially unnatural to the body." That's great news! I've always hated running, but love to hike the woods. I'm a believer in long walks and strength training. Now I can enjoy both knowing that they are the best thing for me.

Bible Truth
But let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight, declares the Lord (Jeremiah 9:24).

Healthy Eating

Today, I took the day to fast and pray again. Although I don't eat any breakfast or lunch, I did drink water and had one juice drink. When I felt hungry, I prayed. I also spent time writing in my journal and seeking God's will. I believe that fasting and prayer are effective ways to open myself to hear God's voice.
