“Life is more than food”

Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet your body what you will put on. Is not life more than the food and the body more than the raiment? Matthew 6:25

Verse Reflections:  I love the verses that start out “do not be anxious”.  Once again, God has hidden beautiful messages for us food addicts.  He says we should not be anxious for what we will eat, nor for our body… Is not life more than food and the body more than raiment?  He is speaking my language. My husband has been to 63 countries taking foods and medicines to people that are literally starving.  God is telling them not to be anxious about what they will eat and in the same breath He is telling those of us who can choose any food at any time not to be anxious about what we eat.  In other words, whether we are starving or we are overindulging our minds should focus on Him in our lives.  We need to blend both those messages into relaxation, total dependency on God.  If we begin our day without anxiety, totally dependent on Him, it would be easier for us not to choose the processed comfort foods.  We would already be relaxed and comfortable.   He tells us life is more than our food and our body is more than how it looks all dolled up.  Let’s focus on the sunshine in our souls today, the stress-free, comfort that God gives us from deep within.  We do not need to focus on how we look, we are all good.  We do need to choose God foods so that we will be healthy.  Life IS more than food and God has given us the perfect foods.  He has also calmed down all our anxieties so that we can just focus on Him and eat His foods.

Prayer:  God, thank You for this beautiful verse promising me the ability to rise above myself.  Thank You for reminding me not to be anxious about life.  Thank You for reminding me that I don’t have to be anxious about what I eat.  Thank You for reminding me that I don’t have to worry about how I look.  I don’t have to be perfect.  Life is more than food and looks.  Some days both food and my looks take too much of my time and energy.  Today Father, I give that to You.  Allow me to just have fun eating Your foods and more importantly turn my thoughts to serving You.  I love You and need you tons.  Here’s to a wonderful, anxiety free day eating God foods!  P.S.  God  Thank You for giving me this awesome, amazing lifestyle.  It works for me
