7 Shocking Facts About Studying the Bible (Part 4)
Are you struggling trying to figure out how to live in this life? Are you having problems overworking yourself, and your body is worn out because of it? Today I want to share the fourth condition of having successful Bible study moments, and it is unflagging industry, or hard work. “In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and of knowledge.” Men don’t find golden nuggets lying around loose on the surface of the earth. They must look for them, and the deeper they dig and the harder they work, the more precious treasure do they find.
 
There are no rewards for laziness. There is no truth to be discovered save by the hardest work. Each chapter, every passage, every verse is a great mine, of which we only scratch the outer surface. The Word is infinite and inexhaustible. But this is the greatest need of all—hard work.  The chief attraction of heaven lies suggested in the activities of the cherubim—they rest not day nor night.  They work 24 hours a day. Isn’t that delightful?
 
The time we sleep is wasted. We are unconscious. What a small sum of our time remains to do anything! One-third of our time is spent in bed, resting, another one-third-feeding, grooming, and nursing these bodies of our humiliation. What a pitiable fraction of time is left to do anything for God or man, and oh, how glorious it will be to keep on working 24 hours at a stretch! The student who works the hardest does the most and goes the farthest.
 
While you do not have to work hard doing work, so much as being in Him as He works in you, it is important to understand that when we are working, we are seeking God first as He directs our path to do His will. We are not here to be overworked in our physical bodies, but as we send praises up to God all day every day, we are working to lift Him up and sing His praises. As we study God’s Word constantly, we learn all the treasures for life as we stay close to God. He will give you everything you need as you look to Him to give you the things you need to continue “pressing toward the goal to win the high prize for which God has called us heavenward in Christ Jesus” (see Phil. 3:14).

For years, I felt helpless inside my own body.

Hi, I am a wife and mother, a minister, a massage therapist, and a holistic health coach. 
I am passionate about working with the body and learning more about how our bodies work, but more importantly, how to be made whole in our bodies, minds, and spirits.

Through the years, I had become a workaholic and never felt any peace. I was overwhelmed and stressed with dis-ease and pain.  I had to stop working for a while because of the chronic pain while having a husband and three children at home who needed me. 

I struggled with my health for quite some time, and I went through worse times before they got better. 

How many times have you been to a doctor, and they acted as if they couldn't figure out what's going on with you, so you go seeking doctor after doctor, looking for someone to help you because you know you are dealing with pain and need help figuring out the problem? How many times have you tried to create new habits, start new diets, introduce new patterns in your life, and end up feeling like you failed at all those things? 

And then, it happened. I have found something amazing that is helping me to understand I AM a healthy being, and I CAN recommit to a healthy, wealthy life!

I was introduced to a different way of living that many people are talking a lot about lately. I realized for my chronic situations; I needed to start getting my health under control. I’d considered it before, but I kept cycling back into a downward spiral going through a valley filled with pain. 

Prolonged physical illness not only affects us physically, but it affects everyone physically, mentally, and spiritually. Many tend to suffer a lot at the hands of doctors who make them worse, not better. I have dealt with this and it has put a bitter taste in my mouth towards doctors. The different medications did not lead to helping me get better, but they caused more pain, and side effects from the medicines caused deeper stress to my body. Anger, hurt, and pain kept showing up in my life, and I didn't know how to deal with it. These things controlled my mind, but now I am being made free. I love God, but, for quite some time, while I knew the Word says, "There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus," I was still suffering from condemnation, guilt, blame, and shame.  Now, I have learned to persevere with joy during my pain because in the end, by faith, God will get the victory through my life's journey, and I can walk in my victory daily!

I’m on a mission to help people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources I’ve worked so hard to get for myself.
