Look after yourself.
16 Look well to yourself [to your own personality] and to [your] teaching; persevere in these things [hold to them], for by so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you. Amp Bible.
At first this may seem contary to the thrust of scripture that is built on the reality of a Saviour who laid down His own life. Yet if we consider how Jesus lived his life in the aspect of his fellowship with the Father and the times that He went to be alone with his Father we can see the truth.
It is so easy to be so tied up with our 'service' to the Lord that we fail to take care of our own wellbeing. Our wellbeing is a multi faceted overview of our lives and involves all that we are. Physical, emotional as well as spiritual.
It is not wrong to take care of ourselves in fact it is WRONG not to take care of ourselves in all that means.
