“Test us for ten days,” he said. “Give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then compare us with the young men who are eating the food of the royal court, and base your decision on how we look.” 14 He agreed to let them try it for ten days. 15 When the time was up, they looked healthier and stronger than all those who had been eating the royal food. 16 So from then on the guard let them continue to eat vegetables instead of what the king provided.
Daniel 1:12 (GNT with Deuterocanon)
Bing Chat Answer: Yes, salt can be used to preserve grains. Salt is used in two primary ways to preserve foods, either in granule form or in brine, which is a salt-and-water solution. It helps preserve food by reducing water content and disrupting microbial cells. However, it takes very high salt concentrations (around 10% or more) to prevent bacterial growth—much higher than what is found in most foods you eat. Beef jerky, pickles, and smoked salmon are just a few examples of foods that are preserved using salt
We all have a part to play in God’s glorious plans. Even if you write a letter for a blind man, or just sit and listen to someone, or you take the mail for him, and you visit somebody or bring a flower to somebody, or wash clothes for somebody or clean the house— small things, but these are great things in the eyes of God.

Serving the Lord doesn’t mean we have to be a pastor of a church. We can serve God in even the smallest things like washing dishes or sweeping the floor. We don’t have to be rock stars with 10 million likes on Tiktok (yes, we can also serve God on Tiktok). Clean spoons and dishes that my parents use everyday glorifies God when done cheerfully for Him.
To become a great artist, you should imitate great artists. Those people who have already achieved success and who have overcome trials and yet endured. We should imitate people to become like them.
You all know those books that say, “7 Successful Strategies Of Jeff Bezos,” or that book that says, “10 Commandments Of An Effective Leadership by…” Yep, we’ve seen a lot of these books in bookstores that I actually bought one of those. This is not wrong. The truth is imitating successful people is the way to go, in order to have their qualities rub into yours and become successful just like them.
Now, what Bible character do you want to imitate? Some would say Joseph, or apostle Paul, and most would choose Jesus himself. In James 5:17 it says, “Elijah was the same kind of person as we are. He prayed earnestly that there would be no rain, and no rain fell on the land for three and a half years.” It tells us that Elijah is just like us! We are no different from him, even if we consider him as the greatest man who ever lived. We all know his wondrous miracles, the fire from the sky, the chariots of fire, and etc. The reality is we could be just like him if we will try to imitate him.
In 1 Corinthians 11:1, Paul says, “Imitate me, then, just as I imitate Christ.” Ultimately, we should imitate the Lord because this is God’s purpose to us. Just like a mirror image of Himself. God’s more concerned about your character development rather than your situation. The truth is God uses circumstances and trials to develop your character into more like Him, in order to be successful.
Therefore, you can be like Elijah, or Paul, or Joseph, or David, or even like Jesus if we follow and imitate them. That is why we need to read the Bible because it is in that book that contains the secret to our success in life. Here, and beyond.
Websites. Can’t live with them, can’t live without them. Nowadays, people are queuing online. Who goes first is like a raffle draw and nobody knows when the delivery will arrive at your doorstep. Deliveries have reached the threshold and it’s carrying the heavy burden of the actual packing and deliveries. We need an army to do this.
Online sales are skyrocketing no doubt about that. How about brick and mortar stores? How are they coping with the lock-down? Even the president says that small businesses are the lifeblood of the economy. How will they survive a world without a place where people pick up items, put it inside the cart, wait in line and pay for the products? The answer is the Web!
The web is constantly evolving. Creating your websites used to be a chore and it will take weeks to put up an online shop. But nowadays, it’s automatic. In JUST seconds, you’ll have a website up and running, ready for the WORLD to see, AND it became so cheap even third world countries can have one.
I can’t recommend you one because it’s a disservice to other hosting providers if I didn’t mention them because what’s the point of having a business? Just go to Wikipedia or search it on Google. Do a little research, do your homework before diving in. However, there is a small problem. You see, online stores are great for customers, but security remains a big problem. Now that hackers know everyone is joining, it’s becoming very rampant and common. So, my advice is, create hard passwords and use two-factor authentication. This will help secure your hosting provider enormously. Invest in a good password manager, as I always suggest, and use genuine software, movies, music, etc. Be good and God will always be good.
Lastly, if you don’t know anything about technology, hire a web specialist, IT consultant or a friend who knows his craft.
I hope that you will always remember that God will always be with you. If you get stuck on the web, just pray.
Under the New Covenant, we are allowed to eat any food. What makes a person unclean are those coming from the heart. As Jesus explains, food goes into the stomach and out of the body, but what comes out makes a person unclean. Sin is spiritual, not physical.
The Things that Make a Person Unclean (Mt 15:10-20) 14 Then Jesus called the crowd to him once more and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand. 15 There is nothing that goes into a person from the outside which can make him ritually unclean. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that makes him unclean.”n 17 When he left the crowd and went into the house, his disciples asked him to explain this saying. 18 “You are no more intelligent than the others,” Jesus said to them. “Don’t you understand? Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can really make him unclean, 19 because it does not go into his heart but into his stomach and then goes on out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared that all foods are fit to be eaten.) 20 And he went on to say, “It is what comes out of a person that makes him unclean. 21 For from the inside, from a person’s heart, come the evil ideas which lead him to do immoral things, to rob, kill, 22 commit adultery, be greedy, and do all sorts of evil things; deceit, indecency, jealousy, slander, pride, and folly — 23 all these evil things come from inside a person and make him unclean.”
Mark 7:14-23
The reason I mentioned about avoiding wild animals because God knows that wild animals are physically unclean. They have viruses that live inside them and if not cooked well, it might make you sick.
I believe the ills of the world is caused by sin. It is not caused by any outward or physical uncleanliness, but rather the evil than men do. God is life and God has the right to take away ours.
We all heard the news about the Novel Corona Virus or nCoV that is circulating around the world and it is now considered an international health emergency. To find the cure for this disease, scientists need to locate the source, which is the animal that transmitted this virus. Rumors are circulating that the virus came from bats and some say it’s from snakes that spillover to humans. Unfortunately, they can’t still find the specific animal that caused it, and so producing a vaccine might be years away. So, preventive measures must be employed.
Upon hearing how wild animals caused this outbreak, I recalled a book in the Bible regarding eating these kinds of animals. Chinese people traditionally eat wild animals and it’s considered a delicacy in their culture. So, it’s not surprising what caused this problem came from eating wild animals.
11:1 The Lord gave Moses and Aaron the following regulations 2 for the people of Israel. You may eat any land animal 3 that has divided hoofs and that also chews the cud, 4-6 but you must not eat camels, rock-badgers, or rabbits. They must be considered unclean; they chew the cud but do not have divided hoofs. 7 Do not eat pigs. They must be considered unclean; they have divided hoofs, but do not chew the cud. 8 Do not eat these animals or even touch their dead bodies; they are unclean. 9 You may eat any kind of fish that has fins and scales, 10 but anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales must not be eaten. 11 Such creatures must be considered unclean. You must not eat them or even touch their dead bodies. 12 You must not eat anything that lives in the water and does not have fins and scales. 13-19 You must not eat any of the following birds: eagles, owls, hawks, falcons; buzzards, vultures, crows; ostriches; seagulls, storks, herons, pelicans, cormorants; hoopoes; or bats. 20 All winged insects are unclean, 21 except those that hop. 22 You may eat locusts, crickets, or grasshoppers. 23 But all other small things that have wings and also crawl must be considered unclean. 24-28 Whoever touches the dead bodies of the following animals will be unclean until evening: all animals with hoofs unless their hoofs are divided and they chew the cud and all four-footed animals with paws. Whoever carries their dead bodies must wash his clothes, but he will still be unclean until evening. 29-30 Moles, rats, mice, and lizards must be considered unclean. 31 Whoever touches them or their dead bodies will be unclean until evening. 32 And if their dead bodies fall on anything, it will be unclean. This applies to any article of wood, cloth, leather, or sacking, no matter what it is used for. It shall be dipped in water, but it will remain unclean until evening. 33 And if their bodies fall into a clay pot, everything that is in it shall be unclean, and you must break the pot. 34 Any food which could normally be eaten, but on which water from such a pot has been poured, will be unclean, and anything drinkable in such a pot is unclean. 35 Anything on which the dead bodies fall is unclean; a clay stove or oven shall be broken, 36 but a spring or a cistern remains clean, although anything else that touches their dead bodies is unclean. 37 If one of them falls on seed that is going to be sown, the seed remains clean. 38 But if the seed is soaking in water and one of them falls on it, the seed is unclean. 39 If any animal that may be eaten dies, anyone who touches it will be unclean until evening. 40 And if anyone eats any part of the animal, he must wash his clothes, but he will still be unclean until evening; anyone who carries the dead body must wash his clothes, but he will still be unclean until evening. 41 You must not eat any of the small animals that move on the ground, 42 whether they crawl, or walk on four legs, or have many legs. 43 Do not make yourselves unclean by eating any of these. 44 *I am the Lord your God, and you must keep yourselves holy because I am holy. 45 I am the Lord who brought you out of Egypt so that I could be your God. You must be holy because I am holy. 46 This, then, is the law about animals and birds, about everything that lives in the water, and everything that moves on the ground. 47 You must be careful to distinguish between what is ritually clean and unclean, between animals that may be eaten and those that may not.
Leviticus 11:1-47
This is great news! Microwaves are known to heat our food in just seconds and using this same technology to recycle plastics is indeed good news.
What is a microwave? A microwave is a form of electromagnetic radiation that was accidentally discovered while inventing the radar by an engineer at Raytheon during World War 2. They call it the “Magnetron.” While improving on the radar technology, Percy Spencer, the engineer, reached out for his snack in his pocket to find that it has melted because of the magnetron. It resulted in our very own microwave ovens in our kitchens that even knows how to speak by Amazon’s Alexa.
The microwave makes the molecules vibrate so fast which produces heat. This cooks the food faster and it’s more economical.

The definition of training is, “undergo training or instruction in preparation for a particular role, function, or profession.” This is important when you are starting a business or any discipline. You have to learn enough to be prepared in the function or role you are going to be a part of.
Lately, I’ve been into cooking because my mom is sick. So, I have to learn by myself so I could cook. I watched some videos for this, preparing as much as possible before diving in. Overall, I did well because the result is satisfying. But today, I relied on my mom to teach me how since I don’t know what I will be cooking.
My mom complained about the string beans and the number of noodles I put. This is NOT good training. In training, you teach everything as much as possible to avoid mistakes, not after making mistakes. The Lord told Adam and Eve never eat the fruit from the tree in the middle of Eden. This was an instruction gave to Adam and Eve to avoid sinning against the Lord.
The lesson here is to tell everything you can and teach students everything they need to survive in their careers. School first before work. This is training.
All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living, 17 so that the person who serves God may be fully qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.
