I have been sick for the last week or so, today is really the first day that I feel "back-to-myself". I feel the residual effect of sickness and I really began to think about how physical illness is so much like spiritual illness and how sin can make us physically sick. If you have known anyone in any kind of recovery, or someone that struggles with addiction of any kind you are aware that the only real explanation is a "spiritual malady" essentially they are spiritually sick. Aren't we all? Unlike the flu or a cold, there is no prescription that will cure the ailments of being spiritually sick and the most amazing part of spiritual sickness is if left untreated the body becomes physically ill and eventually the mind will become sick as well. Not all mental illness or physical ailments are a result of being spiritually sick but there are those case such as addiciton that it is all related to a spiritually disconnect. Fortunately, while you can't go to a doctor to get a prescription to fight an infection, there is a prescription for spiritual sickness, it was written thousands of years ago and there is healing and survival in its pages. The prescription is simple, Give yourself to God, feed your spirit through studying his word, and learn to lean on him, practice Spiritual fitness, healing of perplexed and devastated spirit is waiting, just like be sick its up to us to go to the doctor, God is Waiting on us!

Matthew 4:23 (New International Version)
