We may need moments to feel happy, but to always experience the joy of the Lord, we need faith in all of God's promises:. When you look through the scriptures, we are often told to rejoice, always be full of joy in the Lord, or be of good cheer. You will notice that these statements do not come as a recommendation, but rather as an instruction. This shows us that joy is something we must practice as believers.
Therefore, whatever the surrounding circumstances or situations, your disposition sh
Food can be classified into two groups namely the acidic food group and the alkaline food group. These foods are categorized as such because they affect the urine pH level when they are consumed. Our body's acid-alkaline balance, also known as pH, can affect our overall well-being.
Whatever food we consume, once it enters into our body, it will undergo processing and becomes acidic. Too much acid consumption can deplete the minerals in our body, thus growing the risk of heart disease, kidne
As a way of solidifying our strengths in our minds as an integral part of ourselves, it can be essential to begin to make lists of the things that you like about yourself and the special talents you have and the activities that you do well. When you find yourself feeling insecure, think back to the list of your great qualities in order to receive a boost of confidence. These reminders are very helpful when we are feeling insecure.

You know how good it feels to get out and relax in nature, right? It’s time out from the stresses of everyday life, space and clean air, to breathe and take some time for yourself. But did you also know that there are scientifically proven health benefits to connecting with the natural world? It’s so beneficial. You could even call it nature therapy! Yahweh (God) is the creator of nature, and it belongs to him. Getting closer to nature also gets you closer to Yahweh. Here’s how being in the grea
Why do you need to eat healthy food? I’ll tell you the reasons WHY… After all, why would you commit your life to eating healthy if you don’t even know your ‘WHY’? Make sense?
Well… Eating nutritiously is one of the most important things you can do to enhance and maintain your health.
What you eat has a great impact on the way your body functions. It all comes down to the type of food as well as the amount of food you consume.
Eating a healthy diet affects your body in a positive way. You'll
Something a great deal of people don’t take enough responsibility for is their moods. We often assume that when we are feeling negatively or unpleasant, the reason for that is irreversible. We become a slave to the ups and downs of everyday life, and only feel good when events beyond our control come to lift us out of the negative funks that we all too often might find ourselves in.
But living that way is not going to help you to stay motivated and meet your needs, especially if you have a spec
Sometimes we wonder why we don't get the things we want as soon as we want them. Unfortunately, we are in a generation that desires to see this happen instantly. We have fast food and transportation. We have minimized the time taken to do longer tasks. This generation considers time an asset and will always improve on having things done efficiently and effectively. We pat ourselves on the back because, in truth, we have done an amazing job.
Unfortunately, as we advance in technology, we decli
Mindset plays the biggest role in determining your actions. Your mindset is the fuel to your actions. When you feel good about yourself, you will look good.
You might not be good enough now but don't worry...Don't beat yourself up. All you have to do is to keep a positive mindset.
Look into the mirror and tell yourself, “I look good”.
“And, I will look even better from now onward. I just need to eat and live healthy.”
Looking good increases your self-esteem. And what’s most important is yo
Usually, our biggest obstacle to our motivation lies within ourselves. But there are times when we are simply surrounded by negative and toxic people who can make us feel as if we will never be able to accomplish the things we want to. When this is the case, we are in some pretty hot water when it comes to lifting our spirits enough to make an effort. This can be drive-killing and can cost us the realization of our dreams.
We have to recognize the difficulties of surrounding ourselves with peop
As much as rejection is a very frequent occurrence in life, we are quick to feel bad about it. Each time it happens to us almost forgetting that God can still work out good from any situation. I like to think of rejection as an opportunity to get access to something even better. Yes, it hurts it may look like we gave something all we had and still got rejected. However, if there's better which there always is, then the rejection keeps us open to receiving that better opportunity.
After every r
The biggest enemy of motivation are our own bad habits. When we are so programmed to do something that isn’t good for us that we do it without even thinking about it, chances are high that we are already more invested in our own failure than we are in our success. If we don’t commit ourselves to our success every single day and constantly reinforce ourselves by reminding ourselves to make good choices, then motivation can and will slip right through our fingers.
The number one thing you can do
Psalm 24:1 says
The earth is the Lord’s, and [a]all it contains, The world, and those who live in it..
God is the owner of the universe and everything in it. Today we have people who own houses and businesses across the globe. These people decide what should and should not happen their decisions stand because they own them as the owner of anything.
You decide what you want to do with that thing. In the same way, the Lord owns the earth. He owns the people on the earth, owns the resources an
A healthy diet is important for a well-functioning body. However, it isn't as restrictive or as confusing as people imagine. Food is the source of energy that we consume to provide nutritional support, and has a direct impact on our cognitive performance in every stage of life.
Your food choices each day affect your overall health and well-being. It has a significant impact on your mood and mental health. Hence, the type and amount of food you consume has a major impact on your body.
However,
If one thing is important in today’s society, it is knowing how to succeed. But knowing how and having the motivation to follow through with it is a very tricky process. If you don’t have the motivation, you are likely going to find yourself far behind when it comes to meeting your goals and becoming successful.
A lack of motivation can happen to anyone. In fact, it’s possibly one of the most common afflictions facing the human condition. Sure, we all want to achieve our dreams, but all that ha

Life has many issues that we need to consider. We can easily get carried away by these burdens and forget the main reason why we are here. Life can be very cumbersome for many people. They tend to lose themselves from trying to keep up with schooling, wanting better careers, handling relationships. Life comes as almost impossible. Many people have been stressed out, some have become very depressed and others have looked to drugs to help keep them up.

What does the beginning of your day look like? How do you spend the first 30 to 90 minutes of your morning?

Research shows that habits, like morning rituals, set you up for success.

Sometimes Jesus taught with parables and stories which the hearer needed to interpret. This teaching through stories often confounded those who listened out of selfish curiosity or sinister motives. They couldn’t understand why he was talking about things like lost coins, scattered seeds, and houses being blown down in a storm.
Yet at other times, Jesus’ teaching was crystal clear and couldn’t possibly be misinterpreted. When a lawyer attempted to trick him by asking what the grea
Life will knock you down and laugh at you. Life will hit you when you're trying to live for Jesus. Life is no respecter of persons. But that's when you say, "you know what, I'm getting up, I'm not going to quit. I'm not. I may get knocked down nine times, but I'm going to get up 10 times. I'm not going to quit." In the words of the great theologian Rocky Balboa, - and I quote, "it's not how hard you can hit that makes you a winner, but it's how hard you can get hit and get up and keep going".
