Many years ago Socrates said, “Thou shouldest eat to live, not live to eat.” Socrates was pointing out that the most important aspect of food is ultimately the nutrition it provides. Did you know the Bible points out nutritional advice in relation to reading it? 1 Peter 2:2 reads, “as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby”. The spiritual nutritional fact pointed out here is a Bible does not benefit a person unless the person reads it. It is like buying a jug a milk and putting it in your fridge. It is of absolutely no nutritional value to you personally, unless you take that milk out of the fridge and drink it. A Bible only benefits you if you read it.

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 whenever you get to the border? 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.”

The year 2023 is upon us. People are looking ahead to accomplish something that is praiseworthy. Did you know the Bible outlines something to accomplish that is truly praiseworthy that outshines anything else we could experience. It is accomplished through Jesus Christ? It is knowing God! In the book Jeremiah it reads, “Thus says the LORD: “Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Let not the mighty man glory in his might, Nor let the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me, That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight,” says the LORD.

Recently the U.S. coast guard launched an air and sea mission to rescue 13 people, including a child from fishing vessel. The vessel was about 100 kilometers off shore before it became consumed with water and sank. Do you ever feel like there are so many hardships in life that you are going to be consumed? The Bible informs us that there will be hardships, storms that will occur in our lives but it has instruction in regard to the proper focus during those storms. The focus is not to be on the storms but on God. In the book of Isaiah it reads, “You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you because he trusts in you.

A new study from the university of Cambridge indicates it may be possible to detect dementia a decade before an individual is diagnosed. The new findings make is possible to screen at-risk patients who qualify for early medical treatment. Those considered to be of a higher risk are those over fifty whom have high blood or do not do enough exercise. Did you the Bible tells us there is something that all of humanity has to treat that we have all been infected with? Romans 3:23 reads, “for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.” Thankfully the treatment for our sin has been made available and is accessible through the person of Jesus Christ.

Last month Fox news reported how a Georgia teenager whom had been missing for five months had been located and reunited with her family. The now 17 year old was 16 when she climbed out her second story bedroom window. At the time she left without her phone, that had been confiscated after her parents found out she had been communicating with strangers online. One can only imagine how fervently her parents would have been searching for her. Did you know the Bible shares about a search that God is fervently on. It is shared about in 2 Chronicles which reads, “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.

The time of Christmas gatherings is heavily upon us. People getting all dressed up to look their best. What a foolish thing if a person was getting ready and looked in the mirror and noticed mustard on his or her face and just left it.! Did you know we are warned in the Bible to not be so foolish to leave mustard on our faces? Essentially, we are warned if we see something that needs to be addressed that we address it. In the book of James, it reads, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

Last month a pear-shaped 18 carat pink diamond sold for 28.8 million US dollars. It is said to be the largest of its kind to ever be auctioned for sale. This one of a kind diamond generated a lot of attention. The fact is that when something happens outside of the norm it often gets people’s attention. How unique the announcement was regarding the first Christmas given to the shepherds? It was given through angels. That is definitely outside the norm and it went as follows, “…behold I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people. For there is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour Who is Christ the Lord. Has the reality of that event gotten your attention?

Recently a gentleman was driving down a road in Red Oak, Iowa and he ended up taking a wrong turn and came across a home that was on fire. He went to the door and when the four individuals inside heard someone banging and yelling at the door they woke up and managed to escape before they were overtaken with the smoke and fire. Thankfully they woke up when they did! Did you know in the Bible there is a call sent out to all whom know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour but are not living as they should and it has to do with waking up. Romans 13:11 reads, “And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.

Recently Switzerland marked its 175th anniversary of the first railway in its country by connecting 25 electric trains together. By doing so they were able to make a 100 car, 1.9 kilometer train that snaked through the Swiss Alps creating a world record for the longest train. Imagine watching a train pass by that went on for almost 2 kilometers. It would seem like it would go on forever. Did you know the Bible notes something that goes on beyond what we can fathom. That is the knowledge of God. In the book of Romans it reads, “Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!”
