Lockdown 481

Lockdown Day 481 - 20 July 2021

While sky-gazing in the sun yesterday, I wondered if there was such a thing as sun therapy. You know, like forest bathing.

For health benefits. I suppose God did create the sun for light, but He is not a one dimensional God and I am sure He had other uses in mind apart from solar heating and light.

After doing some research I found that heliotherapy is indeed used for mutliple benefits such as healing for various skin diseases and extensive research has also now proved a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and cancer with actual results of  heliotherapeutic protection against the development of cancer.

Of course, as with anything, too much of a good thing isn't good. But, the same sun that can cause damage can, with controlled exposure, become a healing vessel.

So instead of listing the do's and don'ts of heliotherapy (pretty much common sense), I decided to share two scriptures. The first refers to the Son of God as the Sun, thereby implicating Light that cannot be put out. The second calls sunlight kindness from God.

“But to you who fear My Name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. And you shall go out and leap for joy like calves from the stall."

Malachi 4:2

"For that will reveal your identity as children of your heavenly Father. He is kind to all by bringing the sunrise to warm and rainfall to refresh whether a person does what is good or evil."

Matthew 5:45

So tonight while the rain is filling our gauge fast, I offer up a prayer for God to never let go of us, ever. And a prayer of praise that He's got this.
