Sunday’s Blessing – 02/01/2026 – Homeostasis
One of my favorite college classes was Biology 101. It was fascinating to learn all the details about life; how it formed, how it was sustained, etc. One of the words that stuck with me through the years was homeostasis. Science tells us this process evolved. I choose to believe it was by design of the Maker. Take a look and decide for yourself.
Homeostasis is the physiological process by which a living organism maintains a stable, constant internal environment despite changing external conditions. It acts as a dynamic equilibrium, constantly regulating variables like temperature, pH, blood sugar, and electrolyte levels to keep them within a narrow, survival-friendly range.
I can’t imagine any of this kind of “adjustments” to a living thing happening accidentally, or even out of necessity (the argument used for evolution). However, I have no problem believing that someone with the ability could design such things. That “someone” is who I call God. Not just a god, but THE God; Jehovah, Adonia, Yahweh, Creator, Father, The Great I AM. With that premise, I can easily see how He formed a brain in humans, and the rest of the animals, which can control everything inside the body down to the tiniest cell, allowing us to live.
I can hear the questions now. “So, why do we get sick?” “Why do people die?” We live in an imperfect world. We were told this in the Garden and reminded of it by Jesus when He said, “In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.” Sin causes death. Jesus restores life.
The Holy Spirit within the believer is our “homeostasis”. He is constantly working to bring us to a place of peace, joy, and love. He helps keep us clean, refreshed, and guiding us toward the best outcome. When we learn to hear Him, and quickly follow His leading, we will experience God’s best in our life.
Today’s blessing:
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 1 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV)
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:15-17 (ESV)
Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Romans 11:33-36 (ESV)
