Don't Give Food Lordship over your Life

Galatians 5:16-17 NIV
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature, For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.

Fast food is marketed on television, bus stops, magazines and when you are out, the smell saturates the air tapping into your olfactory sense and heightening your desire to purchase it. These foods usually work in the slow corrosion of the body.

Living in the Spirit we are at all times tempted by sinful behaviors that promise to make us feel good. If you live in good health you are constantly tempted by foods that promise to be good to you but are not necessarily good for you. So just like the Spirit and sin you will be at war with yourself about what to eat.

Just as you come out of living in sin to a life in Christ, coming out of eating whatever you want, to eating what is healthy for your body it is a process. Change is not instantaneous but is definitely constant. The walk with Jesus and staying on track with your fitness and proper nutrition require much focus and dedication. Staying in God's word and putting into practice healthy eating habits keeps you on track for living the 'good life' as God would so want us to have.


God Bless
