Mysterious Human Body

Despite what you have come to believe, modern science still does not understand exactly know how the human body really works.  Because the human body continues to be a mystery, our doctors despite their best intentions, by the most part only have the knowledge of what they were taught in medical school to guide them. 

Failing to understand that our doctors’ knowledge is limited, many Christians and no Christians alike put their lives in the hands of men and women of medicine. And when their doctors fail to provide them with the help they so desperately need, then the lose trust in their health provider. Or they begin to look upon their own lives as black endless tunnel, in which there is no light to show the way out of their misery.

To understand the human body, you must begin by accepting the simple biblical truth which is often ignored. God created the human body, and instituted a law that governs all functions. The human body needs air to breath, water and food to sustain life, exercise for strengthen and endurance in order to face life’s challenges. Each organ has a district purpose, in order to keep the body functioning properly.

God created the human spirit and soul, and placed it with in the human body as care takers. With this truth in mind, we face the reality that any part of our body fails to operate as it should, then our body is made weak because of it. If we do not use the wisdom that God has given us to take care of our body, then we are doing our body a disservice and as result it will fail to work as it should.

“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sow, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:7–9 ESV)

In other word, if we smoke, drink excessively; ignoring the fact that our body will become weakened by our own disregard for the body we live in. If we do not use wisdom in choosing the food we eat, or fail to feed our body by skipping meals, then our body will eventually be weaken by our disregard for its needs. If we do not take time off from work, get the proper amount of sleep, then our body will once again be weaken by our disregard for its needs.

There are many things that we do every day that can weaken the body. We place too much trust in the processed foods that we eat on a daily bases. We eat foods filled with preservative, dye and other harsh chemicals that our body was not designed to consume and wonder why we are in so much pain. We do not read labels on the processed food, to make sure that the foods are health for human consumption. And when we do read the label’s, we expect that the food will provide us with all the vitamins and minerals that our body requires to operate properly, and wonder why we are so stiff we can’t get out of bed in the morning.

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your body," (1 Cor. 6:19-20).

If our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, doesn’t it seem logical that we should do our best to take care of our body? With that is mind, doesn’t it seem logical that of we battle a chronic illness and pain, that we become the best doctor that our body needs. I am not saying that we cannot seek medical help, but that we should work as an active participant in our own recovery and treatment. This may very well mean that if our doctor fails to treat us with the respect and understanding we deserve, then we should seek out a medical doctor that will work as a team player. As well as seeking out a doctor that believes that diet and supplements play an essential part in the recovery processes. And not a doctor that deals with your health issues by simply writing out a prescription and hopes that it will help.

It is your body take charge of it!

God tells us, speaking through the apostle Paul, “I beseech you therefore, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:1–2.
