The DRIVER of Soul Care
According to the World Health Organization, "Self-Care is what people do for themselves to establish and maintain health, and to prevent and deal with illness. It is a broad concept encompassing hygiene, nutrition, lifestyle, environmental and socio-economic factors, and self-medication." More than simply a cultural buzzword, the importance of self-care is routed in Biblical wisdom that, if we ignore, can plunge us into self-destruction. So what does the Bible say about the personal responsibility each of us bears in nourishing and nurturing our own bodies, minds, and souls? What practical steps can we take to be the drivers of our own soul-care?
