More and more we become health conscious in this day. Concern over the eating habits of even our young children is being expressed by health professionals. Schools are replacing unhealthy food sources and even fast food restaurants are responding to the call for more healthy lifestyles. The road to good health requires us to change. Likewise, the road to spiritual health requires a change in us as well.
In order for us to accept change we must first become aware that our old ways are not healthy. In Ephesians God refers to our lifestyle as our walk. The change in our walk begins with an understanding that God has rescued us from the worldly walk. Ephesians 2:1-3 indicate that we have been brought to life from a deadly walk which had captivated us in sin and the control of Satan. We had "walked according to the course of this world." That walk had led to disobedience and the prospect of God's wrath against our disobedience.
Then two wonderful words appear: "But God..." God by his mercy, love and grace gave us access to a restored and healthy walk. Then in Ephesians 2:10 he outlines our walk for spiritual health. He says he has, "prepared good works... that we should walk in them." How wonderful God's grace is! It transforms us from sickness and death to life and health. The first step of the walk to health is to accept the grace offered. Then we must begin to walk according to His plan. Let's make sure we are walking on that road to spiritual health.
