S.N.A.P. — The Plan That Always Pays Your Benefits!

 

🥕 S.N.A.P. — The Plan That Still Feeds Your Soul

You ever stand in the checkout line and watch the food roll down the belt—chips, soda, neon boxes—and wonder, how did we get here?
How did “food” become something that can sit on a shelf for a year, but can’t keep a body alive for a week?

For millions of Americans, the SNAP Program—the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program—is a lifeline. It keeps hunger from the door. It’s government help that matters.

But here’s the question that nobody’s asking:
👉 If the system feeds us but doesn’t nourish us, are we truly being helped?

🍞 When Full Doesn’t Mean Fed

Let’s be real.
The SNAP card will pay for soda but not for vitamins.
It’ll probably cover white bread, but not the whole grain that keeps your brain alive.
It’ll load your pantry with calories but starve your cells of life.

And before we judge “those people on benefits,” let’s be honest—most of us, SNAP or not, shop in the same aisles, fall for the same marketing, and bite the same bait.

This isn’t about income. It’s about influence.
We’re being trained by a trillion-dollar food industry that knows our taste buds better than we know our Bible. They design flavors to hook our brains and hijack our joy.

You ever notice how junk food is cheap and everywhere, but real food—the stuff God made—costs more and takes effort?
That’s not an accident. That’s a strategy.

💬 The Separation That Starved a Nation

What if the problem isn’t just the system?
What if it’s the separation?

We’ve separated food from faith.
Eating from worship.
Nutrition from gratitude.

And maybe, just maybe, that’s why the richest nation in history feels so spiritually and physically malnourished.

“Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” — 1 Corinthians 10:31

When was the last time you ate something to the glory of God?
Not for the flavor. Not for the comfort. But to honor the masterpiece He created—your body?

🌱 A Better S.N.A.P.

Now here’s where this gets wild.
The government calls it the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
But heaven has its own version—one that doesn’t depend on Congress, inflation, or approval ratings.

God’s version is called:

S.N.A.P. — Start Nourishing And Prosper.

When you Start Nourishing—your body, your mind, your spirit—you begin to Prosper in ways no budget can measure.
Because prosperity isn’t about possessions.
It’s about provision—the kind that flows straight from God’s soil, His sunlight, His breath.

🧠 How to Start Nourishing and Prosper

Start with what’s alive.
If it grew, glowed, or came from a seed—it’s food.
If it’s packaged, powdered, or poured from a lab—it’s profit.

Nourish your soul while you chew.
Eat with gratitude, not guilt. Pray over your plate—not out of ritual, but recognition.

Prosper with purpose.
Use the energy He gives you to serve, create, and love. When your cells sing, your spirit listens.

💎 The Closer Your Food Is to God’s Design, the Closer You’ll Feel to His Heart

We’ve all heard, “You are what you eat.”
But maybe it’s deeper than that.
Maybe what we eat is a form of worship.
When we choose what’s alive, pure, and whole, we’re aligning with His blueprint.
We’re saying, “Lord, I trust what You made more than what man modified.”

Every bite becomes a prayer.
Every meal becomes a moment of faith.

“The closer your food is to how God made it, the closer you are to how He meant you to feel.”

That’s God’s S.N.A.P. in motion—
not a card, but a calling;
not a handout, but a hand-up from heaven.

🌾 Reflection for the Week

Ask yourself:

  • Have I mistaken being fed for being nourished?

  • What’s one man-made food I can replace this week with something God-made?

  • How might gratitude at the table change my appetite, my mindset, my health?

  • If eating is worship, how can I make my next meal a form of praise?

You don’t have to qualify for this plan—you were born into it.
From Genesis to your grocery cart, the invitation stands:
Start Nourishing And Prosper.

Because when you eat God’s way,
you don’t just fill your stomach.
You fulfill your purpose.

Quercetin, the "Scavenger Chemical"

Image
Quercetin belongs to a group of plant compounds called flavonoids. This compound is a potent antioxidant that protects the cells in the body from free radical damage. The way it works is by neutralizing free radicals and preventing them from damaging cells and tissues. It also helps reduce inflammation by inhibiting the production of inflammatory molecules. That’s amazing! This compound also helps lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel function. In the area of brain health, quercetin protect brain cells from damage and improve cognitive function. In the area of cancer, studies have shown the anti-cancer properties of quercetin. This bioflavonoid is a true powerhouse exhibiting anticancer activity by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, which is programmed cell death, and reducing metastasis, the proliferation of cancer. Quercetin also has anti-angiogenic effects, meaning, it can inhibit the formation of new blood vessels which cancer cells need to grow and ...

The Liver: Your Body's Detox Engine

Image
The liver is the largest internal organ, and it does a lot. Here is an excerpt of what the liver does from the book: Chris Beat Cancer by Chris Wark: “Your liver is your body’s detoxification engine and a critical component of your immune system. It processes nearly every toxin that enters your body. An overburdened, sick liver can lead to a toxic body, weakened immune system, and an environment where cancer cells can thrive. So, it makes sense to reduce the workload on your liver and the rest of your body by reducing or eliminating your exposure to unnecessary toxins. The overwhelming awareness of how much potentially toxic stuff is around you may induce some anxiety and paranoia at first, but don’t let fear take over and paralyze you; just make a to-do list and start cleaning up your life. The goal is to reduce your toxic load, and every little bit helps.” God designed the body to always detoxify. When you urinate, defecate, and perspire, your body detoxifies. Eliminating or reducing...

Where Do You Really Belong? Try this place!

Image
  In the headlines, legal battles rage over birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants—an issue stirring deep divisions in the courts and across kitchen tables nationwide. Some argue for tradition, others for reform. But beneath the noise lies a quieter question few dare to ask: What really makes someone a citizen?   Well, what do you think about types of citizenship?  You see... ...we wrestle with laws written in ink, interpreted by judges, and debated by talking heads. We wonder what it means to belong—who is in, who is out, and who decides. But what if we’ve been asking the wrong citizenship question all along? There’s another kind of citizenship. One that doesn’t depend on where you were born or what documents you carry. One not granted by government, but offered by grace. “But our citizenship is in heaven. And from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.” — Philippians 3:20 Unlike earthly passports, heavenly citizenship isn’t inherited...
