There is a thing called “grounding” that is making the rounds on social media. It may be a new thought
or a recycling of an old thought. It is exactly what it sounds like: walking barefoot on the earth, thus
“grounding” you. Here is how one website describes it: “Grounding or earthing is a therapeutic
technique that focuses on realigning your electrical energy by reconnecting to the earth. There’s little
research behind grounding but smaller studies have reported benefits for inflammation, pain, mood,
and more.” I have no idea if that works or not. It does make sense. After all, God made us from the
earth, so there could be some connection.

Regardless of whether or not grounding yourself to the earth has physical, healing properties, being
grounded in the Word definitely has spiritual properties that far outweigh earthly grounding. The very
God who created us knows this body, mind, and spirit He designed. What He tells us will bring joy,
peace, happiness, and health will work each and every time. We can trust the One who wrote the
manual. God didn’t have to do studies, interview people, or run some tests. He knows how He created
us to function, body, mind, and soul.

Here is one example of a truth from God that promises what grounding (or yoga and meditation, for that
matter) cannot produce. “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Do not be anxious about
anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in
Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:4-7 NIV). I especially like that part about a peace that transcends all
understanding.

But there are hundreds more instructions and truths in the Word of God. And, as they bring us closer to
our Creator, they are designed to make your life better in all facets. Walk barefoot on the earth if you
desire, but if you want a better life…ground yourself in the Word of God.
Say good things about your Savior.
