In Daniel's magnificent prayer recorded in Daniel 2:19-23, he prays the following in verse 23, "I thank and praise You, O God of my fathers, for you have given me wisdom and glowing health . . ." (The Living Bible).
In most translations the word is translated "might." Some versions translate it "strength" or "power." I had not seen the term "glowing health" until I read it in The Living Bible.
We know that God gives wisdom to those who ask Him. Along with wisdom we need glowing health or might, strength, and power to carry out the mission God has given to each of us.
I have not had the time or opportunity to do further study and research of this verse. I would welcome your input and ideas about it.
As I have thought about the term "glowing health" it seems to me that this terminology indicates a health that is visible and glowing for all to see. This health that God gives reveals the miracle of healing and the health that follows. It is radiant. It is also verifiable. That's the kind of health I desire for myself, my family, and for you, my readers. May God give you wisdom and glowing health.
I know I have readers of Hugh's News who need God to heal them. I know I want glowing health in my life: soul spirit, and body.
