A treasure, where?

Ever been on a treasure hunt? How far would you travel to find it? What would you do if you found you have a treasure? Would you be willing to go to extreme measures to safeguard it? I’m sure when it comes to a treasure you’d rather be safe than sorry, right?

Not many people realize the treasure they own, therefore not safeguarding it. Many realize it just too late in their life to do much about it.

Are you on a treasure hunt? Search no more. You and I have been given a treasure by our Creator. The treasure chest is our body; the treasure, our health. It is our duty to safeguard it, following the instructions of our Creator, that we may live happy and prosperous lives.

Why are many treating their treasure so carelessly? We know there are certain things we should avoid such as meats, fat, too many carbohydrates, etc. We also know of certain things we should do such as drinking more water, exercising regularly, eating more fruits and vegetables, avoiding smoking, drinking, and the list goes on. What are we waiting for?

Need some encouragement? Just visit any hospital. I guarantee it’s not a pretty sight unless you’re visiting the maternity ward. The rest is just mind boggling. Are we just taking our health for granted? Once we loose this precious, incomparable treasure, our life will never be the same.

Need extra encouragement? Look at the huge hospital bills just for spending a few hours in the emergency room? Wouldn’t you rather spend your money differently?

Our Creator is more than willing to help us stick to a plan that will ensure our health and happiness. He longs to see us in good health, both physically and spiritually. “Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your souls prospers”-3 John 2.

Have you been sick lately? Consider it a “wake-up call” and start safeguarding the precious treasure of your health! “Better safe than sorry”, right? Your treasure is well worth it!
