July 29 Leg Muscle

According to new research presented from the Heart Failure Scientific Congress, having a higher level of leg muscle strength appears to be “strongly associated” with a lower risk of developing a heart failure after a heart attack. So, in essence, if you had a heart attack it might be wise to join a gym. Did you know the Bible speaks about strengthening ones legs? This was shared about 600 years before the coming of Jesus. It reads, “Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees, say to those who are fearful-hearted, “be strong, do not fear! Behold your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.”

July 24 Choosing a Swimsuit

Are you the parent of a young child? Do you give much thought to the color of your child’s swimsuit that will be worn at the swimming pool or beach? CBC news put out an article recently noting the importance of parents choosing bright and contrasting colors for a swimsuit making it easier for a lifeguard to spot a child in an emergency. Lifeguards are constantly on the lookout, and it is important your child is easily spotted. Did you know the Bible says God is constantly on the lookout for someone. Isaiah 66:2 reads, “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, And who trembles at My word.

July 22 Longer Life

Do you watch a lot of TV? CNN shared an article recently noting how replacing TV time with light physical activity, moderate to vigorous physical activity, and sleep is beneficial to healthy aging. Watching less TV and being more physically active is associated with a longer, healthier life. Do you know the Bible specifies how to experience a particular type of life and the type of life it addresses is certainly newsworthy. In the book of John chapter 3 verse 16 it reads, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

July 15 Hot Dog vs Hamburger

There was an article put out by Fox News recently entitled Hamburger vs. Hotdog: Which is healthier for you? The consensus seems to be that when it comes to overall nutritional value hamburgers that are often topped with veggies wins out. Comparisons are interesting. Charles Spurgeon was an English Baptist preacher in the late 1800’s. He was known in his day as the prince of preachers. On one particular day there was a gentleman that asked him a question in relation to the importance of prayer and bible reading. Which was more important? Charles Spurgeon responded with a question back to this individual asking him which does he consider to be more important? – breathing in or breathing out.

July 12 Walking Backwards

When you go walking do you ever walk backwards? If not it might be something you should consider. CBC news put out an article recently entitled, “walking backwards might look a little weird but it could be just the exercise you need. Apparently when you start to walk backwards you rebalance the forces around the ankle, knee, hip, and lower back. It is believed to help with the physical changes of getting older so don’t be too surprized if you see someone walking backwards. 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.”

July 8 White Night

Do you find ice-cream to be overpriced? According Guinness World Records the most expensive ice cream in the world costs $6,380 for a serving. It is made in Japan and is known as “white night”. Can you imagine paying such a price for ice cream? Some people have such a desire to enjoy the ice cream they are actually paying this high price. I would say people are desiring something in this case that would not be worth the expense. In the Bible, Jesus speaks of having a desire that can definitely be satisfied. He says in the book of Matthew, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled.” The Bible also tells us that the means to experience this righteousness is through Jesus.
