Eat for God

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. I Corinthians 10:31

Verse Reflections:  If we would think about glorifying God with every food we choose, with every drink we choose we would make different choices.  I love the thought of glorifying Him by making healthy choices.  I am going to an all-day party today so this is a great time to think about glorifying God.  I know I will encounter those that begin drinking early and I will encounter pastries, deserts, chips and dip and just about any food we could think of.  I needed a verse that reminds me that eating is beyond a surface participation.  It is part of our soul, part of what makes us who we are.  Can I influence one other person by my choices?  Can I glorify God by choosing healthy?  It helps me to go beyond myself when I imagine my choices.  I know as a sugar addict that I must concentrate on my food choices every time I open the refrigerator, pantry or go through a drive through.  I have to choose to eat for the glory of God .  By eating for the glory of God, my own body will become healthy as well.

Prayer:  Father, I am already imagining my favorite French bakery’s sticky buns this morning.  I will so need help to make healthy choices today.  Will you give me Your power because I am a salivating mess around the perfect pastry.  I know I can have one, I’m just not confident in my ability to start my day with one of those and still be able to glorify You with the other choices.  My tendency is to keep on once I start.  This verse is perfect for me.  Thank You for giving me this perspective of glorifying You with what I eat.  I know I will glorify you if my body and my mind is healthy.  Got to go.  Love You.  Will try to glorify You.
