Forbidden Fruit ~ Just One More

Greetings Dear Reader,

I mentioned food as an example yesterday.  When I ponder it at length, many of us have an improper relationship with food.  We eat too much or too little.  We eat things that are not healthy for us.  Obsession with the food or with our physique causes us to see it in the wrong way.

I have had a life-long struggle with my relationship with food.  It has taught me several things about how to be faithful.  The heart of the matter for me begins with trust.  Jesus has said clearly that we are not supposed to worry about what we will eat.  I have been in situations where I did not have food or a way to get food.  Worrying about it was not only a worry, but it was also an obsession.

When I have all that I need, I still like to eat too much.  It has caused me to be unhealthy physically but also to lack gratitude mentally.  When I have all that I need, I must have a grateful heart and not abuse my abundance.  When I do this, I also remain aware of the needs of others. 

I do not need to belabor this today.  If I am going to follow Christ well, I must see my intake of food as part of what I must do to honor the Father and not as something I am allowed to abuse.  It is a daily discipline necessary to being a good disciple daily, Dear Reader.

Wishing you joy in the journey,

When was the last time you heard an honest sermon about gluttony?
