The Helpfulness of Health
3 John 1:2
Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.


A mower with a good scythe will do more in one day than another that hath a bad one can do in two; every workman knoweth the benefit of having his tools in order; and every traveller knows the difference between a cheerful and a tired horse. And they that have tried health and sickness know what a help it is in every work of God, to have a healthful body and cheerful spirits, and an alacrity and promptitude to obey the mind.

(R. Baxter.)
