God said in Genesis that He saw what He created and that it was good. More specifically, He gave us every seed yielding herb and tree for our meat (food/ for consuming) and it was good (Gen. 1:29). God also says that our body is the temple of the Holy Ghost (I Cor. 6:19) and that it isn’t ours. We don’t get to do with it whatever we want. These Scriptures, when put together, have been shaping a lot of my thinking and actions. I have begun (with the help of my husband) to flesh out how to practically apply this to my life and that of my family. I am beginning to use things like Essential Oils for healing and apple cider vinegar for prevention. Not just for my family but also for our pets. Our diet is more restrictive then the average American in some ways and much more open in others. I have begun to realize how limiting “modern” medicine is and how much it is based on the concept of evolution (again with the help of my husband). I thank God for modern medicine. It has saved and helped many a life, especially in extreme and horrific circumstance, but I don’t believe as a Christian that it should be my automatic go-to in everyday situations. Instead, I should be relying on what God has created and His wisdom in providing for us through His creation. Then, if needed, I can look to what man has created and see what, through his God-given intelligence, he has invented that would be honouring to God and helpful for my family.
