Good (physical) health starts with clean hands.
The CDC recommends washing your hands for 20 seconds. While this doesn’t seem like a long time, counting ”One Mississippi…” through ”Twenty Mississippi…” is tedious.
While good PHYSICAL health begins with clean hands, I would argue that good SPIRITUAL health begins with scripture.
In his book, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, Peter Scazzero writes about the connection between physical health and spirituality. Meaning, we need to practice both physical and spiritual health.
Today, instead of counting ”One Mississippi…” when washing my hands, I decided to instead to say, ”The Lord’s Prayer” (Matthew 6:9-13). Funnily enough, it took me 20 seconds to do, the exact amount of time I needed to wash my hands. In doing this, I simultaneously practiced both physical AND spiritual health.
What is a scripture you have been wanting to memorize that you can say while washing your hands?
