Psalm 91:16 - "With long life will He satisfy you and show you His salvation"
It's okay when the Bible says to "number our days" (Psalm 90:12), but it's not okay when the doctor says, "Your days are numbered!" That's not good news. Maybe your parents died young, and you're fearful that you will die young too. Thank God for doctors who are doing all they can to fight sickness, but the things that are impossible for man are possible with God.
God's Word is health to all your flesh (Proverbs 4:20-22). God's Word is health to your kidneys. Healing to your bones. It's healing to your skin. It's healing to your lungs. Not a single part of your body will be left untouched by the healing power of God's Word!
Like many people, I used to say, "Well, life is short" to express how we shouldn't take anything for granted. I stopped confessing that over my life many years ago, because my Bible says "with long life will He satisfy me…"
Proverbs 14:30 says, "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones". A heart at peace is sound. The Hebrew word for sound in this verse is "marpe" which means "a healing" or "a cure". So what does that tell you? When your heart is at peace it becomes a healing heart that gives life to your body! If you want to live long you need to have a relaxed attitude. Don't let your heart be troubled. Be at peace. Be at rest. Declare today, "I let go and live long".
