God’s Huge Sense of Humor About Tiny Things

  God’s Huge Sense of Humor About Tiny Things Hidden Keys to Lifestyle Health From the very beginning, humanity has imagined that power and health must come from something grand. We boast of the heart’s thunder, the brain’s brilliance, the majesty of mountains, and the constancy of stars. Yet in God’s holy humor, He placed one of life’s greatest secrets not in grandeur but in the gut. There, billions of microbes — once dismissed as dirt, filth, and inconsequential pests — labor silently. They ferment the foods we eat, assemble delicate proteins, and release tiny molecules of hydrogen (H₂) that soothe inflammation, protect our cells, and even brighten our mood. It is as if God whispered: “Let them see that even the least of these truly matters.” The Divine Comedy of Health We tend to think strength comes from power, wealth, or control. But God’s comedy is this: true strength is born of service. Even your health depends on how you serve the smallest life within you. Every apple, ev...

Who Can You Call On For Help? God.

Life is a gift. Health must be earned. We earn good health by cultivating healthy habits. For many, cultivating healthy habits is not as easy as we would like it to be. Distractions, responsibilities, deadlines, lack of self-discipline and self-control and lack of willpower can all stand in the way of keeping up with a healthy lifestyle. But the good news is that help is available to us. Just not any kind of help; but divine help. Help that comes from God Himself. It is God’s will for us to be in health; so, calling on God for help in the area of health is in place. God is ready, willing and available to all who call on Him for help. Some healthy habits are drinking adequate amount of water, having some form of exercise regimen, good nutrition (that would include wholefoods and exclude heavily processed foods), getting proper amount of rest, getting sunlight, giving God your cares, and so on. As simple as it may look or sound, practicing these habits consistently and continually will b...

Check Immediately: Is Your Ladder Leaning On The Wrong Wall?

Image
  It Happens in Life More Than We Like to Admit A job that promised meaning but left you hollow. A relationship you poured yourself into that couldn’t hold the weight of your hope. A cause, a brand, or a personal dream that looked like it would define you—until you realized it couldn’t. These are the moments you realize something you were climbing toward… couldn’t actually meet your needs nor sustain your lifelong dreams. The Two Walls In life, we all lean our ladders somewhere. But not every wall is the same. Some walls only look solid. From the ground, they’re covered in bold colors, clever words, and the promise of a better view. You start climbing, feeling the rush of progress, until you reach the top—and discover it’s nothing but a painted backdrop. No depth. No strength. Just an empty stage propped up to look real. Then there’s the other wall. It’s plain from the ground—solid stone, no slogans, no glossy veneer. It doesn’t shout for your attention. But as you climb,...

The Stomach and the Spirit: Prep Work You Can’t Live Without

Image
  Your stomach is an unsung hero. It doesn’t store food—it transforms it. The moment a bite hits your stomach, a complex symphony starts: powerful muscles churn it, strong acids dissolve it, enzymes slice nutrients into absorbable pieces. It’s relentless. Within hours, your meal is broken down into fuel your body can actually use. Without this process, even the healthiest superfood is worthless—it would pass through untouched, leaving you malnourished. Your Other Digestive System Jesus promised a Helper—the Holy Spirit—who works in much the same way (John 14:26). Just as your stomach takes in raw material and makes it usable, the Spirit takes God’s Word, life experiences, and even struggles, and breaks them down into wisdom, strength, and growth you can actually live out. You can hear a great sermon, read powerful verses, or receive godly advice—but without the Spirit’s inner “churning,” it never nourishes your soul. Acids, Enzymes, and Conviction Your stomach’s acids are strong en...

How Should We Protect Our Stomachs?

Image
The stomach is a muscular organ in the upper abdomen that plays a crucial role in digestion. Its primary function is to digest food. This digestive process involves storing, mixing, and chemically breaking down food, preparing it for further processing in the small intestine. Digestion is important because it ensures that the body gets the nutrition it needs to function properly. Since the stomach is involved in the digestive process, it is important to make sure the stomach is working properly and effectively.  This organ works every day and often becomes overtaxed by overeating and other factors. When the stomach becomes overburdened it can lead to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms and, in severe cases, even more serious health issues. To avoid this happening, here are a few health tips to care for the stomach and avoid overtaxing it. Eat smaller portions of meal . It improves digestion and it prevents the feeling of heaviness after eating. It also helps manage and control weig...

The Secret Weapon for a Happier, Stronger You...Possibly Your Superpower?

  We often think of generosity as something noble we do for others—but science says it’s just as much for us . Psychologists have found that humans have a built-in need to be generous. It’s wired into our social and emotional DNA. Studies from the University of Zurich have shown that even small acts of giving activate the brain’s reward center, releasing dopamine and endorphins. This “helper’s high” isn’t just a mood boost—it’s linked to long-term well-being, reduced stress, and even better physical health. Harvard researchers followed participants over decades and found that those who consistently practiced generosity—whether through time, money, or emotional support—reported higher levels of life satisfaction, resilience during hardship, and a stronger sense of meaning. Generosity doesn’t drain us; it fuels us. But it goes deeper than brain chemistry. Generosity shifts our focus from self to others , breaking the cycle of self-centered thinking that often leads to anxiety and d...

The Incredible Power of Meekness: Can We Use It Today?

Image
  How Meekness Guards You from the Damage of Words We live in an age of instant reaction. A tweet. A comment. A sarcastic joke. A passive-aggressive text. Words fly fast—and they can cut deep. The tongue is small, but it’s powerful. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.” That’s not metaphor. That’s reality. One sentence can crush someone’s confidence or heal their soul. So what happens when the words flying at you aren’t kind? Here’s where meekness becomes your secret weapon. Meekness isn’t weakness. It’s not passive. It’s strength under control. It’s choosing peace when you could choose pettiness. And in a culture obsessed with clapping back and proving a point, meekness is wildly countercultural—and deeply freeing. Jesus lived surrounded by hate, slander, and constant attempts to discredit Him. But John 8:29 shows His secret: “He that sent Me is with Me: the Father hath not left Me alone.” His peace didn’t come from people being nice. It came fro...
