Christ is My Cofactor

It's 12:35 AM and I'm sitting here studying my physiology lecture. Keep in mind I'm really tired but I thought I would get a quick blog in. I'm absolutely fascinated by it all. PTL for creating such intricate systems!

While I was sitting here learning about neurotransmitters, I came across an interesting component - the cofactor. I wasn't quite sure what it is so I looked it up:

Cofactor - A cofactor is a non-protein chemical compound that is bound to a protein and is required for the protein's biological activity.

So in the case of NMDA, a ligand gated ion channel, a neurotransmitter can bind to a receptor on an ion channel but without subsequent binding of glycine, a cofactor, nothing can occur. The protein can't function as it should.

My life is largely the same way. I can crazy, trying to produce fruit with my deeds but without the presence and hand of God, all of it is worthless. Each and every day, I need God.

Strange comparison? Yeah, definitely. Regardless of that, God met me where I was and spoke to me.
