God’s Word daily is the best medicine.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And after many years of being a quadriplegic, I not only struggle with chronic pain, but osteoporosis. Thin bones happen when you’re a quad. Awhile back I received some health advice from my girlfriend Jean Swenson, who is also a quadriplegic. Because of her healthy appearance, I asked her about her secret! Jean said, “Joni, by God’s grace, I have a cheerful heart, a tranquil mind, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear the Lord, and I turn away from evil. This, as the Bible says, is healing to my flesh and medicine to my bones.” “That’s your secret?” I asked. She then explained, “Look, I can take all the vitamins I can swallow in a day, but it’s to no avail unless I take care of my spiritual health.” And you know what? She’s right. Our life with the Lord does impact our life in the flesh. Friend, begin your day in God’s Word. Then, he’ll replenish your soul and heal your bones.
