I've been having post nasal drip, recurring coughs, cold, and sore throats. The doc said they're due to allergies. And then, each time I do my brisk walks early mornings, I see folks smoking cigarettes, even looking proud of the vice, and not suffering any throat infection or allergy one bit.
Here I am, a health buff and always asking God to keep me healthy and I have to suffer them and spend money to consult my doc about it and buy medicines. And, mind you, it's my third bout with these silly ailments.
Thank God the Muconase seems to be helping--it's a sea water spray you applied in the morning and at night to keep off allergies from going into your nose. It controls my post nasal drip a bit. I really thank God, but I still wonder why I need this and those who smoke and do not pray don't.
And then my GERD or acidic tummy still continues despite my prayers and apple cider vinegar daily routine. God knows I try to keep healthy and not abuse my body because I believe the Word of God saying the body is the Holy Spirit's temple, and anyone who destroys it will be destroyed by God. But it seems that those who destroy it are not being destroyed, and here I am suffering ailments I do not deserve.
The abusive will do get sick in the end and suffer for it, but that's another wonder for me. Why do they get sick only in the end while I've been getting sick no matter if I believe in God's Word and pray and keep healthy and exercise?
I keep asking God to change my life physically and financially, that I and my family enjoy a good healthy life. I don't ask to be a multi-millionaire. I just want debts and sicknesses out of my life. And I want all bills and tuition fees paid, a little savings, and money to help those in need. I want my family happy in Christ, that's all.
I always pray that God make us stronger and healthier each day. Moses and Caleb got stronger as they aged, and they didn't have Christ yet in their bodies. We should be enjoying better health and strength of body, because the Holy Spirit is in us. That's what I believe. And I hope that according to my faith, it would be done to me, as the Word says.
I still don't get what these ailments are for. Others are given them so they'd know that the Lord is God. God did this often in the Old Testament. But it doesn't apply to me because I really, really believe that the Lord is God. Okay, God allows them...so, what for?
I'm really particular about my health, but I don't know why I lost my strength to do push ups and pull ups since about 3 or 5 years ago. I just found myself unable to enjoy my former strength. I used to do 100 push ups in 4 sets, 20 pull ups, and some weight training.
Then it just happened. I just found myself feeling so sick when I did them. I felt so weak and dizzy, as if my breath was slowing down, and I had to make effort to make it normal. It would be like that for hours, sometimes for days. Now, all I enjoy is brisk walking, some jogging, and a little body athletics, like sticks art and shadow boxing and kicking.
I hope that God will give me back my former athletic prowess, and make me stronger and healthier. Nothing's impossible to him.
And I hope he'd heal my heart palpitation for good!
