I woke my computer up this morning to find that today is World Brain Day.

If the brain were so simple we could understand it,
we would be so simple we couldn’t.
Lyall Watson

Science tells us to care for our brains the same way we do our bodies: learn new things, eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and get enough sleep.
***
In a structure as complex as the human brain a multitude of things can go wrong.
The wonder is that for most people the brain functions
effectively and unceasingly for more than 60 years.
Seymour S. Kety

The Bible speaks about healthy habits for mind and brain.
Always be full of joy in the Lord; I say it again, rejoice!
Let everyone see that you are unselfish and considerate in all you do.
Remember that the Lord is coming soon.
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything;
tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers.
If you do this, you will experience God’s peace,
which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.
His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:4-7 Living Bible
***
Faith is unlearning the senseless worries
and misguided beliefs that keep us captive.
It is far more complex than simply modifying behavior.
Faith is rewiring the human brain.
We are literally upgrading our minds by downloading the mind of Christ.
Mark Batterson

And now, brothers, as I close this letter, let me say this one more thing:
Fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right.
Think about things that are pure and lovely,
and dwell on the fine, good things in others.
Think about all you can praise God for and be glad about.
Keep putting into practice all you learned from me and saw me doing,
and the God of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9 Living Bible
***
God’s peace be with you.
Happy World Brain Day!
