Since last year. I've been wanting to enter new posts here since last year but thought I'd rather not. And then I'd think of writing some posts again, and this went on for months. Finally today, I made myself re-open this blog and write some.
My health improved quite a bit. I really, really thank you God for it, though I had some terrible bouts colds and cough and now am having coughs again which I think I got from my wife (who's having bad coughs now) and which we think she got from one of our nieces. This inspite of the fact that we pray that no sickness or ailment affect us and that you make us healthier and stronger as we age.
We truly believe this with all our hearts and we believe that you can this, God. You did it with Moses, and you never change, God. The power you had then is still the same power you can manifest in our midst. It's been our prayer. And we're still waiting for you to do it. We believe you will do it again.
I still always see and wonder about folks who smoke themselves to death (smoking early mornings while I run early mornings to fill my lungs with fresh oxygen) and yet I never see these smokers often suffering from colds and cough like I do. I always have post nasal drip and yet these smokers don't. I don't wish them to get sick, but if they don't get sick, the more reason I shouldn't.
And I'm just expecting the natural order of things. You abuse your health, you get sick. That should be the law of nature, shouldn't it? But that's not what happens to me, it seems. I take care of my health, I get sick. While those who abuse their bodies--smoking and getting drunk with powerful liquor--and not getting enough sleep, I never see them get sick often. Well, now and then you sometimes here they have colds, but that's probably once in a blue moon.
I regularly meditate on the Word because I believe in it to the max. By God's grace it's been changing me so that folks see the light in me even without me making any effort to make it so. But then, bad things I read in the bible for the wicked seems to be happening to me and not to the wicked. And I always asked God. What sin am I doing that what's in store for the wicked is happening to me? Was I that wicked, even if people say I'm so meek and humble in person and kind and even if I live out the Word by your grace and mercy?
I have some falls now and then, but which I quickly repent of so that sin does not get a foothold and grow to deathly proportions. So I always wonder why the punishment for the wicked seems to fall on me.
That was until I mediated Psalm 73. I was browsing through the bible when I "accidentally" came across Psalm 73. Then I understood everything. But still, sometimes life's vicissitudes can make you forget Psalm 73 and like passages in the bible (like Job) and again wonder to God why things are happening. Like, why I easily catch cold and cough when the fact is I always pray for good health, and people who abuse their health do not pray to God for good health and yet that's exactly what they get. (I'm sure they never pray to God for good health. What do you think?).
And even if people who intentionally wreck their health pray to God for good health, I don't believe God will listen. God does not listen to sinners, and moreover, God promised that those who destroy God's temple (our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit), God will destroy them. And yet, it seems, God is destroying my body, which I beseech Him not to.
I have so much to write about, but I have a meeting with a client at 11 am. I have to prepare now. Oh, by the way, I thank you God so much for improvements in my health, notwithstanding. I used to be able to merely walk for exercise (that took years), but now I can actually jog and do push-ups! Wow! I never thought I could do these things again. I did them really painstakingly gradually, and by God's grace and mercy, I can do them now! Praise God!
And God also led me to take MX3 regularly (MX3 is mangostene supplement), BeWell sodium ascorbate Vitamin C, ABS Malunggay, plus occasional purple corn juice. God blesses these supplements so that they improve my health. I also thank God for making my wife well from Thalassemia and low WBC count. She's okay now, quite healed, all by God's grace!
I now God has something better for me and my wife and kids, despite the fact that what I see in the natural are almost negative things. When I hate life and ask what kind of life is this, I just trust God would turn everything for the good of those who love him and are called by his will.
