Today’s SRC focus is hydration.
Simple enough, right?
Drink water. Restore fluids. Support the body. Help the brain think clearly.
And honestly, I’m pretty sure the members of this group know all about water.
You know hydration affects the body. You know it affects energy. You probably know it affects the brain, mood, circulation, digestion, skin, joints, and the general ability to function like a reasonable human being.
And yet, some of us still refuse to drink much water.
Which is interesting.
The literal statement that came up in our scan was:
“The pain of failure is greater than the feeling of success, so I just don’t want to try.”
That got me thinking about stubbornness.
The kind where the body knows what would help, the mind knows what would help, the spirit may even be whispering what would help — and still something inside says, “Nope. Not doing it.”
It reminded me that God called the Israelites a stiff-necked people, which basically meant stubborn, resistant, unwilling to turn.
So here’s some trivia for the day.
Judge Thomas Troward, who lived from 1847 to 1916, was a British judge who, after retirement, became a major writer in New Thought, Mental Science, and metaphysical Christianity. He has some very interesting interpretations of the Bible, including the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel.
In Troward’s interpretation, Jacob’s wrestling represents an inner struggle — the human being wrestling with Divine Intelligence.
After the struggle, Jacob receives the name Israel.
Troward saw this as more than a name change. He interpreted the word Israel as representing the whole human being — body, mind, and spirit coming into right relationship.
Also, in the story, Jacob was lame from that point forward.
Troward said this symbolized that once Jacob understood the connection — that we are body, mind, and spirit — he never walked the face of the earth the same way again.
So maybe there’s a bigger picture to all this.
Are we willing to drink some water in place of the third coffee?
Or the wine?
