 WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE IN HEALTH
The most famous modern definition of health was created during a Preamble to the
Constitution of the World Health Organization as adopted by the International Health
Conference, New York, 19-22 June, 1946; signed on 22 July 1946 by the
representatives of 61 States (Official Records of the World Health Organization, no.
2, p. 100) and entered into force on 7 April 1948.
"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being
and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
1. Inner Health (mental and social well-being)
2. Physical Health (absence of disease or infirmity)
 Inner Health (How you see yourself) Your Image, looks,
appearance
Psalm 139:14 (NIV)
14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are
wonderful, I know that full well.
What you think about or meditate on CAUSES INTERNAL STRESS.
WORRY WORRY WORRY
What do you worry about? Money, family, friends, work, yourself or
tomorrow?
1
Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)
25
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or
about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the
body more important than clothes?
26
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet
your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
27
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
28
"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They
do not labor or spin.
29
Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of
these.
30
If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow
is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What
shall we wear?'
32
For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you
need them.
33
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given
to you as well.
34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.
A Peaceful mind is a worry free mind!!
A mind that is stayed on God lives in perfect peace. (Shalom, The state of being at
ease is experienced both externally and internally.) Peace, be well, prosper, whole.
Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV)
3
You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You, Because he
trusts in You.
 2. Physical Health (the absence of disease or infirmity)
Psalm 103:1-5 (NKJV)
1
Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2
Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:
3
Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
4
Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness
and tender mercies,
5
Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like
the eagle's.
2
Proverbs 4:20-22 (NKJV)
20
My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings.
21
Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart;
22
For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh.
Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV)
22
A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.
