Therefore, thou shalt behave thyself discreetly about thy body, yielding it necessaries reasonably, and then let God send thee what He pleaseth, either health or sickness; take it gladly, and grudge not willingly against Him.(John Climacus)

We are to be reasonable, discreet, and then depend on God.

We are to be reasonable: use our intelligence, be logical, reocognizing - and if needed adjusting for - our motivations.

We are to be discreet: careful, prudent, judicious, we are discern what is needed and distinguish it from what is not needed.

We are to depend on the grace and love of God. Originally the Latin - pendere - suggested motivation or origin. Which returns us to being reasonable: Our motivation is to experience the grace and love of God.

Whatever else, we need the grace and love of God.
