Health is not a commodity which can be purchased from “providers.” Insofar as we have control over health, it flows from our beliefs and our behaviors.
If we love God, we are to keep His commandments. “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” said Jesus, as recorded in John 14:15. Those who “forget not God's law...will have length of days, and long life, and peace.”
Proverbs 3:1-7 says, “My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you. Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart, and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.”
Our health is not something that can be passed on to a cadre of health priests who, for a fee, will keep us healthy no matter what we think or how we live.
