Living A Long Life; An Alternative Prescription

Pondering over life I realized that several factors contribute to its longevity. There are the physical and spiritual, both of which combine to make life worth living

I also realized that living a long life does not depend on pills and tablets, these are aids that only give temporal relief, comfort etc and correct deformities and obstructions that occur.

The alternative prescription to pills and tablets is what you are about to read. Read it twice and pay attention to the recommended practices.

Proverbs 3:1-12

NIV

[1] My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, [2] for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity.

[3] **Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart**. [4] Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

[5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; [6] in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

[7] Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. [8] **This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones**.

[9] Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; [10] then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.

[11] **My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline, and do not resent his rebuke**, [12] **because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in**.

Do you want to live long, then follow the above alternative prescription. Take them alongside the pills and tablets and it shall go well with thee

A word to the wise!
