Everytime you turn on the news there is advice on how to avoid getting the flu - swine or otherwise. "Lots of liquids, constant washing of hands, and plenty of rest." While these seem so simple, we still resist doing them, because life just demands so much of us and we somehow feel immune to misfortune. We'd rather run the risk than inconvenience our schedule and actually rest and take care of our bodies.
I was thinking this morning, how true that is in a spiritual sense, too. We run, run, run until we are faced with an unexpected situation...and suddenly we are backtracking, trying to fix something that might have been avoided with a little maintenance....a couple of glasses of scripture, a little washing of our minds, and alot of resting in Him.
We'd do well to take care of our bodies as well as our spirits in this season of flu.
"Your strength will come from settling down in complete dependence on ME."
Isaiah 30:15
It's a rubber boot kind of day around here...
"Be glad in your God. He's giving you a teacher to train you how to live right— Teaching, like rain out of heaven, showers of words to refresh and nourish your soul..."
Joel 2:21

For some reason, I do not remember ever reading the verse in Isaiah 30:15, and I like that you shared it. And the one in Joel 2:21...words to refresh and nourish...how much we need that in life. Hope you are doing well. Think of you many times.
