Nov 20 – Do Overweight people live longer

Believe it or not, a study of Canadians’ body mass index and mortality suggests that people who are overweight live longer than people of normal weight. And the study says that slightly overweight people had a lower risk of dying than those of normal weight. Well what do you know about that? On one hand we’re told to get thinner, on the other we’re advised to put on weight. It seems like the rules change as often as the weather. But in regards to our spiritual health, God’s Word, the Bible is always consistent. It clearly tells us to admit our spiritual bankruptcy and inability to please God by good works. Then it tells us speaking of Christ, “… there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Weather and medical people being human, make mistakes but our all-knowing Heavenly Father is never wrong, never has to say “oops.” And that applies to those thin or fat, young or old, and regardless of ethnic background.
