7 Ways To Keep Our Brain Sharp

While scanning the Internet for news this morning, I came across this informative website about 7 ways to maintain the sharpness of our brain, by simply exercising it as we do our bodies. Exercising our minds on a daily basis, will help prevent the onset of dementia or Alzheimer’s.

The Holy Spirit certainly recognized the importance of using our brain in a positive and godly sense, when He instructed the Apostle Paul to write:

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue [moral excellence] and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things" (Philippians 4:8).

Not only are we to "meditate on these things" (see Step #6 in the above article link) — we are to actively implement these godly character traits into our daily living and lifestyle:

"The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me DO, and the God of peace will be with you" (Philippians 4:9 - emphasis mine).

Dear reader, remember that we become what we "think" (Proverbs 23:7 ASV). If we cease to "think" properly, we will eventually lose our ability to "think" at all (Matthew 25:29 NLT) resulting in all kinds of mental and physical problems.
