There’s a lot that grabs our attention throughout the day, but I present to you four things we must give careful thought to every day: God, food, money, and community.

Let’s start with God. God is the beginning of wisdom. He gives wisdom freely to those who ask. He desires time with us, and the more we understand Him, the more we understand ourselves. Life doesn’t make much sense without this relationship. I can’t imagine a day where I’m not talking with God—pulling His principles, His wisdom, and His strategies from His Word.

Now, let’s talk about food. This has become a major focus for me over the years. I’ve been on this journey for a long time, and I’ve suffered some hard blows congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, diabetes, and even becoming legally blind. These challenges came from not thinking about food the way I should.

Thanks to people like Dr. Caroline Leaf and her book Think and Eat Yourself Smart: A Neuroscientific Approach to a Sharper Mind and Healthier Life, my thought life about food is changing. I’m learning to pay attention to how food is made and where it comes from. Let me pause here for a moment. My relationship with God, paired with eating food the way it’s meant to be eaten, has given me mental clarity that I can’t even put into words. The connection between nourishing my body and nourishing my spirit is undeniable.

Now, let’s move to money. We need money to live. I don’t have to go further than that but I will. I love entrepreneurship. For me, money isn’t just about having it; it’s about earning it honestly and with purpose. What will I do to earn this money? How can I serve people? What do they need? If I serve them well, the money will come. Every day, I ask myself these questions: What systems can I create? What automations can I put in place?

You also have to ask yourself, what am I going to do with the money once I make it? How am I going to invest it? And then, when that money makes money, how am I going to re-invest it? These are things that we must think about and have a plan for. This is also stewardship.

Finally, community. Community is everything. Even God exists in perfect community the Trinity. Before He made Adam, He declared that man should not be alone. He gave Eve to Adam, but it was about more than companionship. We were made for community to share life with others, to build each other up, and to provide hope and encouragement.

Here are my final thoughts: Build your relationship with God—your Creator. As you do, everything else starts to flow. You’ll take food more seriously because your body is the temple of God, and taking care of it is stewardship. You’ll take money more seriously because it’s a way to serve people and earn an honest living. And you’ll embrace community because it’s an opportunity to love people as God does.
