Divine health you say?

   

   I think it is funny to hear people speak of being in "divine health". (I know "divine health" -  His name is Jesus).  Of course, I suppose such a confession is harmless but yet, if they were in divine health, they would not be aging, for aging is a disease, a result of the fall of man.  I chuckle when I see and hear men as old as I am, sagging belly, bald, bad teeth, weak joints, wearing glasses, sporting wrinkles with a face that looks like forty miles of bad road declaring they have divine health.  Really????  The truth is, the moment we left Momma's womb, our body began to die.   Divine health? No glasses, no colds, no pot belly, no bad teeth, no wrinkles, no bald spots, no weak joints, no liver spots, no weakness of any kind - complete immunity from age and all forms of death or sickness. However - it is appointed unto man once to die.  Yep - itsa gonna happen!   Oops, and there goes divine health. No, divine health is when I wake up on the other side with a new body, not subject to age, sickness, balding, colds, cancer, fever, wrinkles, fat, etc.  Divine health is when I shuck of this old tabernacle and put on a new one.  And, man, I am hoping for an improved model over what I got last time.   I want one that dances with lightness of foot, in perfect rhythm - all things I seem not to have now.

    Now, Jesus had divine health.  He said no one could take His life unless He laid it down.  His immune system was so powerful He would have healed faster than sickness or injury could hurt Him.  With no sin, He was not subject to death (incipient death or sickness, or threat of death).  Death, as the Bible says, came because of sin.  He had no sin!  Thus, divine health.   One of the greater and more unique miracles related to Him was not His resurrection.  Others were resurrected.  Others ascended into heaven. However, no other being on earth, before or since, died when He did not have to nor was He even subject to death.  Yet, divine health laid down His life for me.  Wow!  And, until He calls me up and away, when I need healing, divine health reaches out and touches me.  Sometimes instant healing, sometimes with endurance, sometimes with comfort.  Sometimes with a whisper of a promise to be with me though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.   Oh, yes I have had divine health for sixty one years now.  I found Him when I was eight.
