Rule of Five

We studied in week 6 of Moving Forward Together the "rule of 5" and how it applies to scripture reading...read 5 verses before and after the scripture you are studying/memorizing for best clarity and understanding; meditate on it 5 minutes; say it out loud 5 times; apply the verse 5 ways.

As we consider this "rule of 5" we discussed ways we can use it for our First Place 4 Health wellness/eating plan...

*Drink 5-6 cups of water per day (minimum)
*Eat 5 cups of fruits and vegetables per day
*Exercise 5 minutes/5 times a day (or exercise 5 times a week)
*Take 5 minutes to plan your meal (either 1 meal or for the day or the week - but take 5)
*If you are headed to the kitchen to grab something to eat but aren't feeling hungry, find 5 things to do instead (example: find homes for 5 stray items; set your kitchen timer for 5 minutes then get something if you find you are hungry; write an email to 5 people; read 5 pages in your favorite book; Open your Bible and pick chapter 5 verse 5 in whatever Book it happens to open to then apply the "rule of 5" for better understanding)

These simple "rules" can help you feel better in your quest for better health.

Give me 5,

O GOD, show me how to abide in You. Give me uncommon clarity in seeing the things that truly matter. Give me the courage to take on responsibilities that will require much of me and to say no to the things that are not of You. Give me a spiritual awareness that what I am doing is of eternal significance. LORD, I will give you all the glory, honor and praise. In the name of Christ Jesus my LORD and Savior. AMEN!

Forgiveness

"O compassionate Father, I am indeed blessed because You are my God, the One who forgives all my sins. Amen."

First Place 4 Health Bible study, Moving Forward Together, Week five, page 65


Father forgive us for being anxious about the financial situation we are in and the distress we feel towards to future. I am reminded in Your Word..."For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future*." It goes on to say that I must come to You and pray and that You will hear my prayers. Thank you Father for your overflowing blessing that is evident in my life. May I be a blessing to others as You direct my path. In the name of Christ Jesus my LORD and Savior, Amen.

*See Jeremiah 29:11-13
