Learn to Heal

Learn to Heal
In our previous blog, we explored the concept of relevance, a worthy pursuit for 2024. Now, let's delve into another vital aspect of our journey – healing and healthy living. Brace yourself; my perspective might challenge some preconceived notions, but I invite you to read this blog devotionally. 

 Approaching this topic, I wear my hat as a Bible-reading believer in God. One of my favorite principles from the Bible lies in Romans 12 – the principle of transformation. In Romans 12:2 (NIV), we find guidance: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." But what does it mean to renew the mind, especially in the year 2024, the age of information? Mind renewal is an educational process. In our exploration of health, we can't ignore the basics of biology. What does science have to do with healing, you may ask? Well, God is the original Scientist, the inventor of every biological process. Healing is, fundamentally, a biological process. Whether physical or emotional, when a biological being is injured, the body requires healing. Psalm 147:3 (NIV) reminds us: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Now, let's delve into the scientific realm of healing.

 The key requirement for healing (transformation within the body) is the correct environment, and that environment is created in the mind. The mind releases a cocktail of chemicals and processes that restore the body to homeostasis. Proverbs 4:23 (NIV) guides us: "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

 " In our journey, let's explore two significant terms: "autophagy" and "homeostasis." Autophagy is one of God's designed healing processes, highlighting the intricate wisdom in our body's design. It's the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells and regenerating new, healthy ones. So, is healing in church real? Yes, but the frequency has changed. The environment, or the mindset, plays a crucial role. 
 
 Returning to the book of Romans, mind renewal is an active process, not passive waiting for outside intervention. Learn to create an environment that restores your body to a healthy state. This doesn't diminish your belief in God; it enhances your appreciation for His wisdom and love. If there's something about your body you're not happy with, learn about it. Understanding how your body works improves your quality of life and may extend your lifespan.

 Embrace the process of healing; love and take care of yourself – you are valuable. The Bible states clearly, 'we perish due to a lack of knowledge.' Hosea 4:6 (NIV) emphasizes: "my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge." Our bodies were designed to function in a specific way. Learning about God's design for your body can bring you closer to Him. Healthy living is a noble pursuit, and getting it right provides a better opportunity to serve the Kingdom of God well.

 Pursue knowledge, embrace wisdom, and journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. In understanding the science behind healing, we acknowledge that our body is a marvel of creation, intricately designed by God. The healing processes, such as autophagy, reveal the divine wisdom in the way our bodies regenerate and maintain balance. As we explore the realms of faith and science, we find a harmonious melody guiding us toward a healthier, purposeful life.

Conclusion: 
 As we conclude this exploration into the realms of healing and healthy living on the journey of "Becoming Maverick," I extend my heartfelt gratitude to you, dear readers. The intricacies of this topic are vast, and this blog only scratches the surface. 

 The year 2024 presents an opportunity for each of us to delve deeper into the understanding of human biology, a fascinating journey that aligns with the principles of "Becoming Maverick." Challenge yourself to explore the wonders of the body, the divine intricacies that God designed, and the scientific marvels that continue to unfold. 

 Your quest for knowledge is not merely a personal endeavor but a contribution to a healthier, more informed community. As we navigate the nexus of faith and science, let us marvel at the wisdom encapsulated in our bodies and be inspired to live lives that honor the intricate design bestowed upon us. Thank you for being part of the evolving narrative of "Becoming Maverick" on Blogger.com.

 May your journey be filled with discovery, growth, and a deepening understanding of the incredible vessel that is your body. Until the next exploration, keep embracing your uniqueness, seeking relevance, and venturing into the uncharted territories of knowledge.
Shalom!

The Genesis Moment

Th e Genesis Moment: Forming Order During Chaos Genesis means “beginning,” teaching us to create order from chaos. Instead of fearing disorder, we can establish structure, embrace responsibility, and build a foundation for growth. Becoming Maverick means transforming through challenges and stepping into stewardship over your life. Let's apply the Genesis Mindset today. Genesis—it means "beginning." I often find myself returning to the first few chapters of Genesis , especially when life feels out of control and chaotic or when I'm facing things I don’t fully understand. There’s something about these opening words of the Bible that carries profound wisdom—wisdom we often overlook. Becoming Maverick is about stepping back, recognizing the principles that govern life, and applying them with intention. Too often, we get caught up in religious or scientific debates about Genesis and miss the principles it offers for how life on earth actually works. But if we take a st...
