DAY 14 - Boosting Your Immune System

Day 14 

 Read: Nehemiah 8:9-12

There is a lot of research and studies going on across the world to understand the nature of this virus. One definite thing we are asked to do is to boost our immune system. People with improved immunity are less likely to be infected. Our immune system is a God given protection against any sickness. A compromised immune system makes us prone to falling sick. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 17:22, “A merry heart is like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones”. The Good News Bible says: “It is slow death to be gloomy all the time”. Complaining, comparing and negativity decreases our immunity. A person who is happy, joyful, kind, loving, gentle, optimistic and fun will be healthy. Rotten feelings result in a rotten character leading to a lowered immunity.                      www.newhopetv.org

Dr. Martin Seligman, father of positive psychology says, “positive emotion alienated from the exercise of character leads to emptiness”. Therefore, it is vital that we are transformed into the likeness of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Nehemiah 8:10 says, “The joy of the Lord is our strength”. The Jewish rabbis taught that God cannot be with a sad person. In the Psalms it says, “God dwells in the praises of His people”. We experience God when we enter His gates with thanksgiving. In the present scenario as we spend long periods of time at home, we need to be joyful and kind to one another.

Innumerable studies have been done to show the link between the immune system and happiness. A well-known researcher and Professor in this field, Sonja Lyubomirsky says if you are happy and joyful, you are less likely to have a stroke in six years; if you choose to be happy you are less likely to have a heart problem for 10-15 years. If you have a heart disease you can survive it for up to 11 years and you can survive lung cancer for another 3 years. Your immune system functions at its best and you are less likely to fall sick when you are happy. Here is a tablet not to fall sick, a guarantee given by God: Choose to be joyful!

:: Prayer ::

Lord Jesus, help us to choose joy and happiness continually. Keep us in your care. May our hope be in the glory that is to come which is eternal. In Jesus name, Amen.

             Day 15  Read: John 20:19-23 Christ has destroyed the power of death through His work on the cross and His resurrecton. He is risen and He is with us. The disciples stayed behind locked doors in fear and isolaton afer Jesus was crucifed. The frst words Jesus spoke to them was, “Peace be with you” (John 20:19) And my peace I give unto you” (John 16:33). The Lord wants us to be in absolute peace and contentment. The word ‘Shalom’ implies absolute harmony, lacking nothing!                       www.newhopetv.org In the midst of the Coronavirus situaton, Jesus tells us to be at peace. We live discouraged, disheartened, disconnected lives, lacking joy in our relatonships. But in Jesus, we are more than conquerors. We can live in peace and harmony. During this tme of lockdown, may we refuse to show frustraton and biterness especially with our loved ones. In the peace that Jesus gives us, we can be victorious in every situaton.

DAY 32 - God At Work

                            DAY 32 Read: Genesis 37:31-36 Psalm 53:5 says, they feared where no fear had been. Joseph’s brothers sold him off and informed their father that Joseph had been eaten by the wild animals. Jacob on hearing this news tore his clothes put on sack cloth and was a broken man. He refused to be comforted. Meanwhile, God was working in an amazing way. Joseph was taken by Potiphar, the captain in Pharaoh’s army. While Jacob wept, God was working out His plan.      www.newhopetv.org Often when we think all is lost and there is nothing to look forward to, God is still at work. He will fulfill His promises. He is in control of everything. Jacob was weeping for his son Joseph thinking he was dead while God was raising him up. Trust God to be true to His promises.  To be continuously sad is rebellion and disobedience toward God. :: Prayer :: Forgive us for weeping, grieving, being anxious, afraid and worried. You are working behind the scenes to make something beautiful

DAY 34 - Be A Blessing

                              DAY 34 Read: Genesis 40:1-8 Another important virtue we see in Joseph is his concern for the people around him. In Genesis 40:6, the cupbearer and baker are in prison and are dejected. Joseph asks them the reason and is led to help them. Though Joseph himself had enough problems of his own: being sold by his brothers, falsely accused, put in prison, he still chose to think of others. Look out for people who are suffering, it makes our dark periods lighter, it helps to shift the focus from ourselves to others. It makes us think less about ourselves and more about the needs of others. As Paul exhorts us, we need to look out for the interests of others. As we see in Job 42:10, God waited, as Job moved from his suffering to interceding and then to restoration.          As the renowned cardiologist, professional educator and author Dr. B.M. Hegde says that  “ I” “I” leads to Illness;  “ We “ We ” leads to Wellness/Wholeness/Health. Let us not be lost in self-pi
