We can not have great health if we don’t get enough sleep!  Inadequate sleep is a risk factor for many diseases. Sleep is resting the whole body. Getting adequate sleep is very important to our health. During sleep, our body rejuvenate, repairs and recharges.  If you do not get enough sleep, you simply can not have good health!  Many of us are sleep deprived yet we do not really know it.  If you are lacking in sleep, your body is under constant stress.  Chronic elevated stress is a risk factor for most disease. How much sleep is needed? Different people require different amounts of sleep but as a rule of thumb, we need 8 hours of quality sleep a minimum of 6 hours.  Any underlying sleep disorders, such as sleep latency, insomnia, and sleep apnea, should be corrected to obtain a high quality of sleep.  If you wake up tired or if your energy fades during the day, you may not be getting enough sleep. We all need good sound sleep every night. There are times  during the day when we should rest our minds from problems, rest our ears from the noises around us and rest our eyes by shutting them for 5 mins or better yet looking at things of nature. Rest your body by not being such workaholic. Work and rest is what is needed; not work, work, work.  ”Some  make themselves sick by overwork. For these rest, freedom from care, and a spare diet, are essential to restoration of health.”~~ MH p 236. ”We need quiet communion with God, when every other voice is hushed, and in the quietness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul makes more distinct the voice of God. He bids us, ‘Be still and know that I am God’ (Psalm 46:10)….Amidst the hurrying throng, and strain of life’s intense activities, he who is thus refreshed, will be surrounded with an atmosphere of light and peace”~~~~MH, p 58 Our heavenly father has given us a physical law of rest which we need for optimum health; He also knew we needed time to rest with Him, time to worship Him and refresh ourselves in the things of God~ His creation.. God rested after He created the world and He gave us the Sabbath to remember our Creator, Worship Him  and enjoy His creation. He blessed that day and sanctified it. He loves us and gave us all we need  even a day of rest where we can rejuvenate our selves spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally and increase longevity. “And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.

”Nothing tends more to promote health of body and soul than does a spirit of gratitude and praise. It is a positive duty to resist melancholy, discontented thoughts and feelings…..as much a duty as it is to pray”.—Ministry of Healing. 251…..

“For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:11  “And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath”. Mark 2:27 nkjv From the Creation of this earth the Sabbath was Blessed and Sanctified. The Sabbath was set apart for Holy use, for us to keep  Holy. It was made for mankind , a day to stop work and delight oneself in the Creator and His Creation. Sabbath is a memorial of Creation  Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.  And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. Genesis 2:1-3 nkjv So they gathered it every morning, every man according to his need. And when the sun became hot, it melted.  And so it was, on the sixth day, that they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. And all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses.  Then he said to them, “This is what the LORD has said: ‘Tomorrow is a Sabbath rest, a holy Sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you will bake today, and boil what you will boil; and lay up for yourselves all that remains, to be kept until morning.’”  So they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded; and it did not stink, nor were there any worms in it.  Then Moses said, “Eat that today, for today is a Sabbath to the LORD; today you will not find it in the field.  Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day, the Sabbath, there will be none.”  Now it happened that some of the people went out on the seventh day to gather, but they found none.  And the LORD said to Moses, “How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My laws?  See! For the LORD has given you the Sabbath; therefore He gives you on the sixth day bread for two days. Let every man remain in his place; let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.”  So the people rested on the seventh day.” Exodus 16:21-30 Sabbath is a sign Between God and man “Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and...

 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6  (NKJV) There are crisis in every life. And these draw us closer to God as we plead to Him, and ask Him for strength, help and guidance. In times as this how very important  it is, that we learn the meaning of prayer, faith, and trust in God. Something we all want for our life is always found in the Bible; God’s Holy Word.  The Bible helps our faith. Here are some benefits and the importance of daily Bible reading. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. (Romans 10:17) The Christians feed upon, and lives by the Word of God. (Matthew 4:4) His Word is a heavenly light. (Psalm 119:105) It is powerful to resist evil. (Hebrews 4:12) His Word is the sword of the Spirit. (Ephesians 6:17) In the wilderness when Jesus was tempted by satan. It was the sword of the Spirit Jesus used to get rid of him. Over and over again Jesus said ”It is Written”…It is Written”….”It is Written”  (Matthew 4:4,7,10)  May the Lord help us to know this Book the Bible so as to overcome the snares of the devil.We should use it when we are overwhelmed with sorrow, fear and worry. Use it when in doubt and when unbelief comes upon us. Use it in time of temptation to conquer and overcome sin and the world. Not easy but remember ”I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” Philippians 4:13  Every promise in the Bible has power. Every command has wisdom. Every warning has very deep meaning. We can’t have victory without prayer so we must ask. ”Ask, and it shall be given you”.. Jesus said (Matthew 7:7-8)  So you ask Jesus Today He will hear you. We must pray and pray without ceasing. May God help me to read  His words, believe His words and live out His words daily in my life so others will see Jesus living in me. With all the promises He made and fulfilled in my life I cannot do anything else but Trust Him and basked in His Love and Blessings that He bestowed upon me. Only through the help of His Holy Spirit I can do this, just can’t do nothing on my own. Please help me today Lord to serve you and serve my fellow-men. Amen  Beverley Shaw 🙂...
