God gave me an egg allergy. I barely grunted. Then came the spices allergy; Did I report anyone to the police? No. Then now, when I should be enjoying the fruiits of my labor, see my last days in peace, he sends me milk allergy. Is this how kinsmen behave? Really. Then when I retaliate, I will be the bad one.
DO YOU TRUST IN GOD?
Isaiah 26:3 (NKJV): “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.”
One of the greatest signs that a man trusts in God is that his mind is stayed on Him.
In the original Hebrew text, the word translated as "mind" is yetser, which carries a profound depth of meaning, including the imagination or the frame of mind. Therefore, when a person truly trusts in God, their imagination is fixed firmly on Him.
But how does this manifest practically?
When a person who trusts God faces an affliction like sickness, their mind does not run wild with fear or construct worst-case scenarios. Instead, their imagination is anchored in the reality of divine health. They cultivate a vivid mental picture of themselves completely healed, whole, vibrant, and filled with joy—visualizing the moment they are dancing with absolute strength and vitality.
Similarly, if a woman feels delayed in her marital destiny, she does not allow her imagination to grow dormant or despondent. Active in faith, she looks ahead and imagines the fiftieth anniversary of her marriage. In her mind's eye, she sees the celebration, hears the laughter, feels the immense gratitude, and visualizes the enduring testimony of God’s faithfulness over the decades.
Likewise, when a man who trusts in the Lord encounters financial struggle, he refuses to let a temporary lack define his vision. He looks past the current deficit and sees himself signing major checks that fund global ministries, support orphanages, build world-class institutions, and lend to nations.
True trust is not passive; it imagines. It sees God actively at work. It visualizes Him delivering, restoring, healing, providing, and answering prayer.
Hallelujah!
FURTHER STUDY: Romans 4:20-21; Philippians 4:8
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this word. My mind is stayed on You. My imagination agrees with Your Word, Your promises, and Your power. I will not surrender my thoughts to fear, worry, delay, sickness, lack, or defeat. I walk in perfect peace because I trust in You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Gorilla seen contemplating life after dispute with mate
Kiyomasa, a western lowland gorilla at a zoo in Japan, was filmed sitting quietly and appearing deep in thought after a reported disagreement with his mate
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

I have been an active internet user since 2003.
In 2000, I first got an email [email protected]. (I cannot remember the domain name, but in those days, there was no Gmail or Yahoo in Kenya.)
I have been an active mobile internet user since 2007 February.
My first internet-enabled phone was the Motorola 7i.
During this era, browsing was almost free of charge.
Therefore, I have the experience to see scammers and liars by just observing their characters online.
By just reading what you have written, I will deduce your intention and disarm you right away.
There are thousands of criminals online preying on your ignorance, especially on the pretext of Crypto and FOREX.
You have all read how a young man in Kenya was brutally murdered alongside three men for allegedly scamming someone of USD 10,000 on the pretext of Crypto windfalls.
I want to reiterate to you that there is no shortcut to wealth creation. You must work hard and sweat.
Ignore platitudes like "work smart", etc. You must work hard. You must toil and soil your fingers.
Even Elon Musk told his employees to go to work in the office or get fired.
The people who show you opulence and poshness on social media are mostly con men and criminals. - and this includes politicians.
80% of politicians running for elective seats are deplorable criminals, conmen, sluts, prostitutes, hooligans, racketeers, hoodlums, jailbreaks, scofflaws, felons and thieves.
They are running for elective seats to launder the money they have scammed from people or stolen from public coffers. - and then use their political powers to hide from the judicial system while continuing to steal.
When you see people posting posh houses, expensive clothes, and exquisite vehicles while showing you how they are living a lavish lifestyle, followed by a Bible quote or quotes by famous people, just know they are simply showing you a red herring to distract you from seeing their criminal intent.
Those are criminals.
You cannot be a millionaire overnight.
You cannot bet or gamble your way into wealth.
As a man, the system is rigged against you, therefore, you have no choice but to work as hard as you can to get out of poverty.
If you refuse to listen, you will be hunted by the people you have scammed or the security system, and you will be brutally murdered.
Most of these men are simps who are scamming people to please random women.
Live honestly and genuinely.
Be content with the small you have.
Don't be in a rush, be patient.

There is nothing wrong with having CCTV in a dormitory hallway, as long as there are proper safeguards and clear checks on who can access the footage.
That said, this should not distract from the real issue at hand. Sixteen lives were lost, others were left with life-altering injuries, and many families have been left shattered beyond repair.
In this tragic context, the CCTV footage has been instrumental in identifying those responsible, helping ensure accountability while also protecting innocent people from being wrongfully implicated.

Okay, Documentary Twitter. Here are ten of my favourite YouTube documentaries with links. I tend to avoid AI videos because human beings aren't meant to consume AI slop.
A thread.
Try and read this book before you die: Amos Tutuola's "The Palm-Wine Drinkard"
Better than Achebe's "Things Fall Apart," in prose.
I could infer some similarities with Elnathan John's "Born on a Tuesday."
Very funny too. Too many serious books already. Much ado over...
I registered for one these cycling long-trips where there's a meeting point (obviously) before embarking on the journey. Sikujua kumbe majamaa wanakuja kama bike ziko kwa Gari. Mimi I rode from home, sweating like cold tusker. Point is, Gari pia ni muhimu 😭.

Plead RT to help share the word.
This is one of my favorite videos of all time. As a child psychologist, it’s a perfect example of joint attention, preverbal communication, and coregulation.
