It is well known that smoking has harmful effects on the heart and lungs, but a study by the Washington School of Medicine in St. Louis has indicated that it also affects the brain. Apparently smoking shrinks the brain. Quitting smoking prevents further loss of brain tissue but stopping smoking does not restore the brain to its original size. Restoration is a valuable thing. Did you know the Bible teaches about spiritual restoration, renewal when it comes to hoping, trusting, waiting on God. Isaiah 40:31 reads, “but those who wait on the LORD, shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”

The worlds oldest known intact egg was found in a dig in Britain recently with the yoke still inside. It is 1700 years old. There were actually other 1700 year old eggs found in the dig but they were not able to be preserved because they broke open. The smell that came from the eggs was described as “putrid” from an article put out by BBC news. Did you know Jesus described something that was putrid in His day that was not an egg but a characteristic. In describing those whom were self-righteous, He describes them as, “whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.”

Rising food prices and other household necessities seem to be resulting in more and more companies using shrinkflation. It is a tactic where the volume or weight of a product is reduced but not the price of the product. There is more and more of a push by consumers to get companies to be clear about what a person is getting. Did you know the Bible has information contained in it that outlines with clarity just what a person is getting. 2 Timothy 3:16 reads, All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.

Recently in Australia an endangered flower bloomed with many watching at the Royal Botanical Gardens. The flower is called the corpse flower. This beautiful plant that blooms once a year for twenty four hours has been described as smelling like “rotten flesh, with notes of old fish and decayed cabbage”. In Jesus day He makes a comparison of something that appears to be beautiful but has a disgusting element to it. What Jesus describes is self-righteousness. In describing the self-righteous religious rulers of His day, He describes them as, “whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.” Not a picture you would want to emulate!

Recently a gentleman from Australia was concerned to witness six venomous red-bellied snakes slither into a mulch pile in his back yard. He called a snake catcher who came and bagged 102 pregnant and newborn snakes. Can you imagine how that man felt? The fear with a venomous snake is getting bit and having the venom inside of you. Did you know in a spiritual sense the Bible tells us we have all been bit by something and have venom inside of us. Romans 3:23 reads, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23 tells us of the effects but thankfully a cure that has been made available, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

What is the best position to sleep in? Do you every question how you are positioned when you sleep? According to an article put out by the Sleep Foundation you should. During your sleep your body works to repair itself and the proper position acts as an aid in this process. Apparently sleeping on your stomach is the worst position while sleeping on your side or back is more beneficial. Did you know the Bible has something to say, not about sleep but rest. In the book of Matthew, Jesus says, Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Are you trying to lose weight? Maybe you should try drink sparkling water? Fox News shared details from a report by BMJ Nutrition, Prevention and Health that suggest drinking carbonated water may support weight loss by enhancing glucose uptake and metabolism in red blood cells increasing the feeling of fullness. Drinking carbonated water apparently helps a person feel full. Did you know Jesus shared about water that does not simply have physical benefits but has infinite spiritual benefits. This water is in reference to the Holy Spirit. He said, “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

According to research walking backwards can be good for your brain and physical health. The practice of walking backwards for health reasons is thought to have originated in ancient China. There are reports from ancient China of people walking not only hundreds but in some cases thousands of miles backwards. Apparently walking backwards has received attention from researchers from the United States as a way of improving sports performance. Did you know the Bible has insight for followers of Jesus Christ in relation to ones walk that seems out of the norm but it is in reference to a spiritual nature. 2 Corinthians 5:7 reads, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

When you have to sneeze do you hold it in? A man in Dundee Scotland tore a hole in his windpipe by pinching his nose and keeping his mouth shut during a sneezing episode. Such a result is a rare occurrence, but it can happen. Did you know the Bible says there are times that it is wise to hold back? This has no reference to sneezing but rather responding. In the book of Proverbs it reads, “A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.” Unfortunately we have a lot of opportunities to apply this wisdom. The next time you feel like responding with something harsh, hold it back and instead give a soft answer and change the dynamic of the conversation.

Have you ever seen an advertisement promoting the possibility of having one’s criminal record removed? Imagine not being able to travel because of something that comes up from your past? The Bible tells us of a way we can have our sins before God removed. It tells us of a way we can have a clean record. This is made possible by a person being sorry for their sin and trusting in what Jesus did on the cross as a payment for their sin. Causing a person from then on to see sin differently and God differently and live differently. This clearance is spoken of in Psalm 103:12 which reads, “As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.”
