Having a heart-healthy lifestyle is important, both in the natural as well as in the spiritual. Many of the same principles work in both environments. We need good food, we need plenty of exercise, and we need a good attitude.

Psalm 139:7 Where can I go from Your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

Throughout the day, acknowledge God's presence. When you need His wisdom, call upon Him for that moment's need. When a problem arises, reach out to Him, for He is already there with the answer -- a word, a prayer, an anointing to heal or to fight off an attack.

The fellowship of the saints is a real, vital, and integral part of our relationship with the Father. We must each have that strong, supporting vertical connection directly from our own heart and mind to the thoughts and feelings of God, held, cherished, protected and renewed in that secret place where we can shut out the world and all distractions.

The judgment of God is righteous and fair. Although we often think of judgment only in turns of punishment and wrath which falls on evildoers, consider that the validation of righteousness is also the rejection and conviction of evil. By upholding the honor of the poor, defending the rights of the widow and orphans, fighting for the freedom of the oppressed and captive, we are executing the judgment of God and walking in the light of His integrity and love.

Psalm 43:3 Send forth Your light and truth. Let them guide me; let them bring me to Your holy mountain, to the place where You dwell.
