Behind the scenes in the fat man walks

When we are hurting we can lean on Him

Behind the scences for about six years I have been engaged in two studies: (1) the Bible and health; (2) Study of the Life of Christ from the point of view of a walker with Him. Kind of a third party view Jesus and His followers as they moved through the three and half years of ministry. My study is in the third year of that ministry.
It is my hope to put on line some of these studies that may encourage others. I am sure through out my blog my research in health you have seen.
I am not an expert but I don't mind sharing what I have found that may encourage you. This doesn't replace in any means your care by your doctor and professional support you may enlist. There are many online information sources that are professional and informational. My blog is about my experiences and walking that I know is good for most of us. Even if your doctor and you the better counsel is limited activity, I try to right encouragingly as you struggle with your health.
 I have studied the Bible for 40 years and have been in some type of ministry all my life. The Bible teaches balance in life, moderation, God created foods which are beneficial, and don't let food become your god. People in the Bible were walkers and used their bodies for work. They were leaner and their diets were simplier. We do have foods available to us like tomatoes which were not available in Biblical times and we have heath benefits also. Medicine in the last 100 years has expanded the life span from about 50 to nearly 80 today.
The idea of 30 minute walks will not be found in the Bible.Walking was not their problem. I am always amazed when some idiot uses that as an arguement against a healthy walk today. We have to deal with the problems of today, we can't return to another time. We can learn from the principles we see and walking at least 30 minutes a day is a good idea. So is finding ways to walk 10,000 steps a day, which is more in line with what they did in the Bible over our sedimentry life.
More people like myself have to deal with aging. I would not have made it 100 years ago. One of the bi-prodducts  of my study is the concept of healthy aging. I am convinced there are things we can do to get more out of life until it is our time to go home with our Savior. So the fat man walks.
I was reading Isa. 61:1 and I believe it refers to the Lord Jesus, Luke 4:18, 19.

"The spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me,because the Lord has chosen  me. He has commissioned  me to encourage  the poor,to help  the brokenhearted,to decree the release of captives,and the freeing of prisoners," I have been encouraged through it all that Jesus walks with me and I with Him. I would like to pick up the idea of help the broken hearted next time. Keep walking
